Some of you may have noticed that two weeks ago I accidently reused the subject line from a previous edition of Clay Vessels. I was particularly bummed because the subject line I meant to use was, in my estimation, quite clever.
There is a certain irony that such a mistake happened when introducing the person who is responsible for editing all newsletters coming out of Be Broken. The fault was totally mine, and not hers, as she is not responsible for the final publication of Clay Vessels.
It’s a good thing I work for a grace-based ministry, amirite?
Anywho, this week I want to offer a prayer for families. May this enrich your life in Christ. If you are single and don’t have any children, please join in praying this for brothers and sisters in Christ, for those who are spiritual children and those who serve as spiritual parents.
O Lord, Heavenly Father, You have blessed us with the gift of family and have entrusted us with their spiritual upbringing. You commanded that we should teach our children about You in our lives: when we sit in our house, when we walk by the way, when we lie down and when we rise. Guide us O Lord every moment of the day as we work toward this awesome task.
Let the words of Christ dwell in us, so that we may teach and guide our family, through our words and deeds, to the saving knowledge of Your everlasting kingdom. Help us, O Lord, be compassionate, kind, and patient throughout our days. If one of us has a complaint against another, help us to forgive each other; as You have forgiven us. Let the peace of Christ rule in our hearts. Above all, help us to remember to put on love which binds everything together in perfect harmony.
We thank You, Lord for the many blessings and mercies You continually bestow on us. In everything we do, in word or deed, may we always do so in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through His Holy Spirit. Amen.
