Noon Prayer 2.22.23

Mountain of Family

This sphere of society includes all families, people who work as counselors, ministers, social workers, educators, government officials that write, approve, and carry out laws that affect the family unit, and those in any aspect of our culture that deals with family life.

Revival in our families:

  • Pray for restoration and healing to come to every relationship within our families.

  • Pray for the presence of God and His love to fill our homes.

  • Pray that families will begin to seek the Lord together and that we will have intimate times with Him together in our homes.

  • Pray for freedom and healing from a spirit of rejection within our families.

Romans 8:14-17

14 All those led by God's Spirit are God's sons. 15 For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry out, "Abba, Father!" 16 The Spirit Himself testifies together with our spirit that we are God's children, 17 and if children, also heirs, heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, seeing that we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him.

Colossians 3:13
