PRAYER SUSTAINS A FAMILY.
MAIN TEXT: Proverbs 24:3-4
Through wisdom is an house built, and by understanding it is established. And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.
Psalm 103:17-But from everlasting to everlasting the Lord’s love is with those who fear Him and His righteousness with their children’s children.
A family is a group consisting of two parents and their children living together as a unit, it could also be all the descendants of a common ancestor.
PRAYER is a relationship wherein we humbly worship, communicate and seek God, knowing that beloved and hears us, and will respond to us, though not always in a manner we may desire or expect. It is the utterance from our spirit to God.
We must have a humble heart when we pray and it is our attitude in prayer that matters most. As a Christian, the power of prayer in a family is the very foundation that keeps a family united together.
Prayer is the foundation of the Christian home and is one of the best ways to help your family. Many families rarely participate in activities together nowadays and rather prefer to direct their attention to the television, computers or cell phones. They lack unity from God through prayers. It’s important that parents invoke their children in family prayers, as this teaches them the importance of prayers and builds their relationship with the Almighty.
A family that has their focus on prayer to God through Christ has a foundation that may be shaken at times, but it will withstand all the test of time.
FAMILY IS A DIVINE MYSTERY AND ONLY GOD CAN KEEP IT
Prayer point: Heavenly father, sustain my family in your love. Make it a place where holiness and love abounds.
