Theme | I Will Guard Your Family

From | Chaplain Te Vula

Verses | Isaiah 49:25, Proverbs 22:6, 2 Thessalonians 3:3, Psalm 121:7-8

Over the years I have had to fully trust God that He is guarding and protecting my family. I was away for 3 months at the end of 2023, and this year I will be away more. I do not expect that nothing would happen to them, but I do ask God to watch over their comings and goings, to be there for them, and protect them in this crazy world we live in.

What can we do to support our family?

God calls us to a life of example and trust. When we live a life like Christ and submit to His ways, we lead our family to do the same.

“Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it” Proverbs 22:6

We do our best to raise our children in "the way they should go” or influence our loved ones who we call family, but at some point, we must trust God. We must trust that He has our family in His hands, that He loves them more than we could, and that along with much prayer, His promise to watch over, strengthen and protect them is true. God is faithful.

So today consider your loved ones and your family, as we pray that we would be a great influence and that God would guard and protect them so that they can be all that God has called them to be.

Prayer | Lord God, thank You for the gift of family. We lift our families to You today and we pray blessing on each of them. We ask that You hold them in Your hands and that You watch over, strengthen and protect each of our loved ones. We put our trust in You, Lord. Help us to be a great example to our families, leading them in the way they should go, and reveal to us ways that we can show the love of Christ to them even more. Amen.
