Prayers for the Family


PRAY WITHOUT CEASING
IT’S THE WILL OF GOD FOR YOU
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

This Week Prayer Focus:  A Family that Prays Together, Stays Together – Lord, we want a Strong Family Foundation.
“Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say? As for everyone who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice, I will show you what they are like. They are like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built.
Scripture – Luke 6:46-48
