40 Days of Prayer: Day 39 (2/8)

EACF 40 Days of Prayer 2019
Day 39: For Your Family

Our journey over these past 40 days started with our own hearts and ventured through our church, into the world, and back towards home. Today, pray for your family. This can mean your parents, siblings, cousins, and other relatives. This can mean your own household - spouse and children. How often do you pray for your family members? Our families are the first opportunity for us to experience community and a community of faith. We get to share and encourage one another in our faith in Christ. If your family members do not know Jesus, pray for them. If they do then pray for more depth in awareness of sin, a fuller grasp on the love of God, and a greater awareness of God's presence today. And pray that you will be a blessing to your family members!

"You shall observe this rite as a statute for you and for your sons forever. And when you come to the land that the LORD will give you, as he has promised, you shall keep this service. And when your children say to you, ‘What do you mean by this service?’ you shall say, ‘It is the sacrifice of the LORD's Passover, for he passed over the houses of the people of Israel in Egypt, when he struck the Egyptians but spared our houses.” - Exodus 12:24-27a ESV

"But if anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for members of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever." - 1 Timothy 5:8 ESV
