From Handbook to Prayer
Intercession
Lord, I now prepare my heart for intercessory prayer for my family.
May the Lord make me increase and abound in my love for believers and for unbelievers. May He establish my heart as blameless and holy before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all His saints. (1 Thessalonians 3:12–13)
May Your commandments be upon my heart, so that I may teach them diligently to my children and talk about them when I sit in my house and when I walk along the way and when I lie down and when I rise up. (Deuteronomy 6:6–7)
In the spirit of these passages, I pray for:
- My immediate family
- My relatives
- Spiritual concerns
- Emotional and physical concerns
- Other concerns
