FAMILY
Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.
—Prov. 22:6 (NKJV)
The enemy’s attack on the family unit is anything but subtle these days. From legalized abortion to redefining marriage to high divorce rates to Internet porn addiction, Satan has successfully assaulted the family from all angles with an overt agenda to pull it apart and even negate its value.
To combat these attacks, families must put Christ above all things and make Him a solid foundation. And no weapon is stronger in this war than prayer.
- Pray that parents will adhere to Proverbs 22:6 and train their children in the ways of the Lord.
- Pray that families would not succumb to the worldly ideals seen in Hollywood, but would instead stay true to biblical principles of living.
DAILY PRAYER
Lord, we pray for families in this nation. Let them follow the principles outlined in the Word of God and not the lifestyles modeled in Hollywood. Help us to train up our children in your ways, so they will not depart from You when they are older.
