“Lord,
We thank you for the gift of family. We honor you as the head of our household.
United we stand, divided we fall. The enemy is crouching at our door, aiming to dismantle our home.
We cover the threshold with your blood, reminding fear, doubt and unbelief that your resurrection power will redeem everything appearing to be dead. We die to ourselves once again. We die to self-reliance. We die to figuring things out. We die to predictability.
We look to you, our stability, hope and light. Without you, we are nothing.
Breathe new life into _____________. We bind the fear and trauma that has tormented his/her waking and sleeping hours, stealing hopes and dreams.
Lord, restore __________’s vision. Help him/her to dream your dreams again, allow your voice and call to be heard. Align this precious heart with yours so hope does not perish.
Bless his/her spouse to trust the God that cannot be seen. Be the peace that anchors this family’s restless souls. Be the husband/wife that ____________ is unable to be in this moment. As you capture every tear and fear, let him/her feel a release of this unbearable burden. We load it upon your capable back; the one that carried the weight and sin of this world…for you are the only one with enough love and compassion to rescue our hopeless condition.
Bless each family member to have an increase of faith; give each a patience and trust that you are answering each prayer in your perfect time.
You are alive today. Let your resurrection power revive _____________. Let this power be greater than the chaos speaking to him/her. We bind confusion and chaos. We cover our brother/sister in greater measures of you love and blood. Revive hope. Restore peace. Repair all brokenness. Touch every wound. Undo What the enemy has done and let the redemption of ___________’s life give witness to the power and glory of your name. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
