Abba Father,
we often wonder what way to go in life.
May we always turn to you for guidance, and whatever way we choose, may we try to live out of your commandment to love.
Lord, you have said that You are the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
Do not let us stray from You, who are the Way nor to distrust You who are the Truth, nor to rest in anything other than you, who are the Life. We have true life in us, the spring of water welling up into everlasting life, through him, knowing that all can be found in You, our deepest personal security in life.
Blessed be your name, Lord.
In Jesus’ name Amen

Abba Father, when your children got saved, Father, you didn’t just have us in mind.
Abba Father, you have our whole family in mind, as in Acts 16: 31,
“Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.”
Lord, we have opened a big door for You, O Lord, to move into our family’s life and to touch every member of our family who is yet to be saved.
Your WORD says You desire for all men to be saved and to come into the knowledge of the truth, so we bring our loved ones before You this day.
Abba Father, we break the power of Satan from their assignments and activities in our family’s life in the Name of Jesus.
We bind the work of Satan, and we ask that You send forth laborers to share the good news of the gospel in such a way that they will listen and understand it.
As truth ministers, we believe our loved ones will come to their senses and come out of the snare of the devil and make Jesus the LORD of their life.
In Jesus’ name, Amen
