Good day everyone. Today my spirit is heavy with the thought of the struggles of the single parents and the effect on their children as the summer draws to a close. Please join me as I pray for their well being.
Today’s Prayer
Father, today we come before you to pray for all single parents who are raising children by themselves that the power of the Holy Spirit and the Blood of Jesus will fall upon them and their children. We pray for the daily walk and lives of these children, that they will be delivered from evil spirits and set free from the world; that they will feel your power upon them daily and that the parents will see miracles. We pray for the single parents who are fighting for child support of the absent parent, that they will have favor in the people, courts, and the absent parent. We pray that You will work in the hearts of both parents, that the needs of the children will be met. God, be the mother or father that they may lack and provide Your love, peace, and comfort in their lives. In the name of Jesus we pray and give You thanks. Amen.
Let’s eat.
