“but if a man does not know how to manage his own household, how will he take care of the church of God?”
1 Timothy 3:5
Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord. And he will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers, lest I come and strike the earth with a curse.” Malachi 4:5-6
Imagine how much stronger the Church would be if each household would spend more time intentionally investing in their family. Some say that the health of a church is directly proportional to the health of the families & individuals within it. Others say it’s the other way around. Either way you flip it, we must take responsibility of stewarding the relationships around us.
Today, we pray for God to build up healthy marriages, strengthen families, and break generational curses. We pray for husbands to love their wives, and wives to love their husbands, in the same way that Christ loves His bride (the Church). We pray for children to grow up knowing what a loving, Christ-centered marriage looks like, modeled by their parents. We pray for God to bring restoration and redemption to family units, so that He can also bring these things upon His Church.
