[Mark S Mirza]

December 18

• Background to today’s prayer

  • If you’re perfect you can skip this background

  • The rest of you…listen up!

  • The older I get, the more I realize how loving and forgiving God is.

  • As you go into this holiday season, and your family is broken, let the Lord comfort you.

TODAY’S PRAYER

Lord, in Luke 2:22-24 we read of the dedicating of Your Son in the temple. Lord, the great responsibility that Mary and Joseph had, bringing up Jesus reminds me of the great responsibility we have in raising our kids. Lord, so many of us have already failed in that regard. We trust You Lord to forgive us for failing our children, and Father, we ask You to cause our children to forgive us.

Lord, we bring our broken families to You. Please do Your miracles!

Isa 61:1-4 BSB 1The Spirit of the Lord GOD is on Me, because the LORD has anointed Me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent Me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and release from darkness to the prisoners, 2to proclaim the year of the LORD’s favor and the day of our God’s vengeance, to comfort all who mourn, 3to provide for those who grieve in Zion—to give them a crown of beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, and a garment of praise in place of a spirit of despair. So they will be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified. 4They will rebuild the ancient ruins; they will restore the places long devastated; they will renew the ruined cities, the desolations of many generations.
