I’m so thankful that you decided to join me for this 31 Day series of Praying the Scriptures for Your Family! What a blessing YOUR FAMILY will receive through your prayers! The peace we gain through prayer {Philippians 4:6-7} is blessing enough, but in praying the very Words of God over your family, the blessings gained are more than we will ever know about on this side of heaven!
As you start this journey of praying the Scriptures, I hope you will take a few minutes (less than 10) to listen to this audio encouragement where I share 5 Ways to Pray the Scriptures.

Today’s Scripture To Pray For Your Family
Matthew 9:36-38: “But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd. Then He said to His disciples, ‘The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.”
Prayer: Lord, may we be filled with compassion when we see the lost around us. Break our hearts for what breaks Yours. May we remember that the harvest is plentiful and the laborers are few. Give us strength to keep up the good work until the day we see Your face. Remind us, when we look into the faces of our neighbors and family members that we want to see them in heaven. Your will is not for any to perish without You, break our hearts for the lost as well. We are desperate for You, Jesus!

Hi….I have really been enjoying your whole series! I look forward to them and will be sorry when they end. Today’s words were so beautifully expressed, so I tried to figure out which version of the bible you used. I couldn’t find it. Would you please let me know which version it is from?
