Heavenly Father, I want to pray for my family. In the middle of the week, we can be stuck in a routine, but I want to stop on this Tuesday and pray specifically for each member of my family.
God, I pray for my parents. Help me to honor them. This has looked different for each stage of my life, but I ask that you help me to honor them in my current stage in life.
“Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land that the Lord your God is giving you. (Exodus 20:12)
I pray that my parents will know you well. That they will continue to grow in their relationship with you and never feel like they can not grow anymore. Help them to continue to experience your steadfast love and calling in their lives. Give them strength until you call them home to live for you.
God, I pray that you help me to love my spouse well. I pray that my spouse will surrender to you more fully today. Help my spouse to see that the greatest treasure is in you alone.
Father, I pray for my children today. They are such a gift and I know they come from you. Give your grace to each of my children. Open their eyes so that they may see that you are Lord. Allow them to surrender their lives to you and to live a life that honors you.
For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, (Ephesians 3:14-15)
Gracious King, on this Tuesday I bow to you. You have given me my family and we would be nothing apart from you. I pray for my family in Jesus’ name, Amen.
