Family Day 7: Speak a blessing
Dive into the Word
"For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ... that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height-to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen." -Ephesians 3:14-21 (NKJV)
Family Moment
What stands out to you in these verses? Take turns praying a blessing over each family member by name: "May God strengthen [name] with power through His Holy Spirit in your inner being. We pray that you will have the power to grasp how wide and long and high and deep the love of Jesus is for you. May you be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God and know that He is able to do more than we can ask or imagine. Amen."
Let's Pray!
- Sometimes we think asking for help makes us weak, but depending on God actually makes us stronger!
- Today, as you pray, ask God to strengthen you physically, mentally and spiritually.
- Pray: "Father, thank You for the strength You give us when we are weak. Amen."
