Prayer for Families - Day 2
Over this seven day period, we will be praying and fasting for our families and for the nation of Iran. We will meet on Zoom every evening at 7:30 pm to pray together. Please fast as you have the strength. May God help us and hear us as we pray for not just for our own families, but for the families around us and for the nation of Iran.
Bible reading: Psalm 103
“Bless the Lord, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His holy name! Bless the Lord, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits: Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,”
Psalms 103:1-4 NKJV
With all that is within us, let us thank God who has forgiven us all our iniquities and healed all our diseases. That He has rescued us from destruction and freed us from a life of sin.
Let us take an opportunity to confess any sin and to ask God for mercy.
Thanksgiving that God has crowned us with His faithful love and tender mercy. As a father pities his children, so God has pitied those who fear Him.
“And this is eternal life, that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.”
John 17:3 ESV
“And if it is evil in your eyes to serve the Lord, choose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your fathers served in the region beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.””
Joshua 24:15 ESV
Let us pray that every member of our family would know the Lord and serve Him.
“Bless the Lord, you His angels, Who excel in strength, who do His word, Heeding the voice of His word.”
Psalms 103:20 NKJV
“And when he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. Yet they will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers.””
John 10:4-5 NKJV (emphasis added)
Let us pray that every member of our family would know and obey the voice of Jesus our Good Shepherd. They will not hear the voice of strangers.
