A Prayer For Mercy - For the Family
If you turn on your television or scroll down your social media feed right now, you are bound to run into a story that will leave you heartbroken, devastated and fearful. Because we live in dark times and our lives are so unpredictable, it can leave us scared, especially for our family. This is why it’s imperative that we call on God for His protection. We know that there is evil around us and the only person we can turn to our Father in Heaven. Here is aa prayer for the protection of family.
Mercy is tenderheartedness and compassion toward someone in need. It’s important that you remember this principle when it comes to mercy: No parent gives mercy better than one who is convinced that he desperately needs it himself. Too often Christian parents allow themselves to forget the daily mercies they receive from God. When you forget, it becomes easier for you not to parent your children with mercy. Our children are needy. Your primary calling as a parent is not first to represent God’s judgment but rather to constantly deliver His mercy. It’s important that we are God’s ambassadors in the lives of our children:
Prayer:
Dear God, I pray for You to bestow Your mercy and protection on my family.
We are in desperate need of Your compassion and forgiveness.
Help us to walk better in your light.
Amen.
It’s so important that the Gospel lives in your heart and shapes how each member of the family relates to each other. When each person in the family lives by these principles, they can better love each other. Parents can parent better according to God’s plan. If you are looking for more Gospel-principles that will radically change the way you think about what it means to raise your child, turn to Scripture.
