Our help, the Lord

My help comes from the Lord, the maker of Heaven and earth. Psalms 121:2

Father, we strive, we push, we work to make homes for our families, and we try to please You. We try to be perfect parents and wives. We try to control things and when we can’t we get frustrated and feel guilty. We forget, we forget that You will help us if just call on Your name. We call on You this morning, to make a way for us, to go ahead of us and help us be Your servants.  Fight the enemy for us who tells us we fail our families and that destruction is the only path.

Rescue us from the wiles of the evil one who lies to us. Give us peace and confidence that You fight for us and You love them more than we can imagine. Let us rest in Your strength and know that our children and families are in Your hands. We don’t have to fight for them, because You are fighting for them. Instead, we fight to have hope and to believe that You are fighting for us and for them.

Bless them with truth and wisdom, open their eyes to see the truth, bring them into Your ways and let them have ears to hear.

Bless Israel with peace and salvation

Bless our nation with a repentant heart. Let us turn to You and restore our land.

Come quickly Lord Jesus, come quickly

In Christ alone we pray.

Give our husbands that same confidence to call on You and to see Your mighty works in their hearts. Bless them with favor and wisdom. Let them be closer to You every day.

Bless our grandchildren with the knowledge You desire them and are working on their behalf. That You keep them safe and protect them from evil. Bless them with an awareness of You that never leaves them and let Your Word be written on their hearts. Let them know that You fight for them and they can rest in that love.

We bless Your holy name,

In Jesus name
