Father God, in the name of Jesus, I thank You for being my contender and giving me the victory over every enemy of my life, my family’s life and my extended family’s life.
I am confident that You have never lost a battle and every challenge that faces me has already been won by You my contender.
Thank You for saving not only my children but those children who are connected to my life; brothers, sisters, nephews, nieces, cousins and friends.

Amen  

But thus says the Lord: 'Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, And the prey of the terrible be delivered; For I will contend with him who contends with you, And I will save your children.'" 
(Isaiah 49:25)

Week of November 1

Dear Lord, You made us for lives in families and in community. What I say and do reveals who I am as a follower of Christ. I am to be Your hands and feet in the world today. What a tremendous responsibility, but also a tremendous opportunity to share Your spirit of love, compassion, and justice with others. May I embody all that You want me to be. Be my source of grace as I go about my work today. I ask all of this in Your holy name. Amen.

“…The love of God has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us.”

(Romans 5:5, NAB)
