Thank You for hope!

Dear heavenly Father,

     Tonight, we thank You for all the great things that You have done in our lives.  And we thank You for the work that You are doing in and through us and those that are close to us.  Thank You for the blessed hope that we, that trust in Your great name, have for our future!  We praise You and give You all the honor and glory for it!
     We also ask that You continue to work in the lives that You have changed.  We ask that, along with the redemption of lives, that You restore the relationships that have been damaged.  Bring restoration to their families.  Call the family back together, Jesus.  You have been officially invited and welcomed into the heart of at least the head of the household.  And You've officially been given free reign to do as You please in this household.  We know that You are working with the absent family member.  We ask for Your peace and Your patience as You work in this situation.  We ask for Your guidance and encouragement to stay strong in the faith as we come to know You better.  We desire to know You more.  And we seek to develop our relationship with You even more.  Thank You, Jesus for all that You have done and continue to do!  We ask that You restore this family so that not just one member - but the family as a whole will give You praise!
     We love You, God!

Amen

  1. Lord Jesus, we agree with Shawn in the prayer! We know that you do not desire that any family should be pulled apart,so we pray for Your restoration in this situation and in this family. We pray that, wherever needed, hearts
    would be softened, and forgiveness and healing would take place. Lord, we don't know the details and the struggles that are taking place,
    but You do. We pray that this person and entire family would feel the presence of your Holy Spirit and it would change lives! Thank you, Lord, for all that You've already done! Protect this precious family from harm and may You be glorified through the whole situation! We pray that this entire family would be saved through one family member seeking after You! Lord, You tell us in Romans 8:28 that all things work together for GOOD to those who love God, so we pray that this family would come to know You and that all things would be worked out for GOOD! And may ALL of the glory go to You, God! We pray these things in Your GREAT and WONDERFUL name!! Amen!
