A Family Letter to God

A Family Letter to God

To our Heavenly Father, we declare our love for You.  We want You to know that You alone are our God and we put nothing else before You.  We entrust You with our lives, with our household, with our finances, and with our children.  We recognize that You are the one and only creator of this Earth.  We recognize the Bible as Your written Word, and we thank you for leaving us a document that we can turn to for wisdom and revelation.  Lord, we thank you for your Holy Spirit.  We confess that we will not take the Holy Spirit for granted, but we will listen to it because we know that the Holy Spirit guides us into all truth.

Dear Father, we ask you to poor out Your blessing upon this house.  We thank You for the great mercy that You extend to us each and everyday.  Lord, we repent for not giving You the time You deserve.  We pray that we do not allow the distractions of this world to keep You from being the head of this house.  Lord, we forfeit this house to Your kingdom, and we pray that You are pleased with what You see in this family and this house.  If anything be in this house that is not pleasing to You, we ask that You make it known to us.  Our priority is to be satisfying to You so that You will feel welcome in this home.

Lord, we thank You for our children.  We recognize them as a blessing from You and we do not take them for granted.  Father, please continue to give us wisdom and guidance as we raise these children to respect and fear You.  We plead Numbers 6:24-27 over them (you can enter your child(s) name here).  We know that  they are blessed and will continue to be blessed.  We believe that they have a call on their lives, and we speak wisdom into them so that they may discern that call and meet it.

Lord, let our child(ren) be much better than their parents.  Teach them where their help comes from and show them everyday that You are Lord.  Show them their faults early in life so that they will learn to control them.  We want to raise them to be children of God who chose to put You above their flesh.  They will learn to stay diligent.  They will learn to disciple themselves, and they will learn to guard their heats against worldly things.  They will know the contents of Your Word so that they may know how to do battle at the gates of their eyes and ears.  They will not only where the armor of God, but they will also arm themselves in Your name.

Lord, we believe that You will provide profitable career paths for our child(ren).  We trust that they will receive the proper trainer that is needed for those careers.  We cast out any distractions such at debt that would come against them.  We say that all of their education will be paid for and that their paths will be made easy.  We take authority over who has influence over them, and we believe for those that love You to be involved in their lives.  We speak over friends, teachers, coachers, and supervisors.  Bring our boys favor with those that impact their lives in every situation.  We say that their spouse will be God fearing women who imitate the Proverbs Woman.  Their spouses are being raised in good homes that are teaching them to love and put You first.  We thank you that they will be blessed with beautiful children that they will help teach to do Your will.

Thank you Jesus for all of these things that You have blessed this family with.  We are the head and not the tail.  We are above only and not beneath.  Everything that we put our hands to shall prosper, and no weapon formed against us shall prosper.  Thank You for being our source and for providing work to channel financial blessings to us.  Teach us to be good stewards of Your money and the possessions that You allow us to have.  Please keep us humble, and never let us forget that we know nothing, we have nothing, and we are nothing without You.  Thank You for being our Lord and Savior.  Thank You for sending Your one and only Son to die on the cross for us.  Thank You for being present in our home, and thank You for communing with us on a regular basis.  All of these this we believe and say in Jesus name, Amen.
