Scripture: Nehemiah 13:31 (KJV)
Introduction
The family is one of God’s precious gifts. It is a divine institution established for love, unity, support, godly upbringing, and the fulfilment of His purposes on earth.
Throughout Scripture, we see God remembering individuals and their households for good. He remembered Noah and preserved his family. He remembered Abraham and established a covenant with his descendants. He remembered Hannah and blessed her with a child. He remembered His people and delivered them from bondage.
When God remembers a family for good, He releases mercy, favour, protection, restoration, provision, peace, and opportunities for advancement.
These 50 prayer points are designed to help you stand in the gap for your family and seek God’s blessings upon every member of your household.
May the Lord remember your family for good, establish your generations, and make your household a testimony of His faithfulness.
