We join you in lifting up your prayer for protection and healing as you gather with your family. It is wonderful that you have acknowledged the power of Jesus' name, as it is only through Him that we have access to God.
Firstly, let us address the importance of praying in Jesus' name. As it is written in John 14:6 WEB: "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'". In Acts 4:12 WEB we read: "There is salvation in none other, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men by which we must be saved!"
Now let us pray for your family gathering:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, thanking You for Your love and protection. We ask, Lord, that You extend Your hand of protection over this family gathering, keeping each one safe as they travel and gather together. We pray against any harm or danger, and we ask that You surround them with Your angels.
We also pray for healing, Lord. If there are any among them who are sick or injured, we ask that You touch them and restore their health. We trust in Your promise in Psalm 107:20 WEB: "He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their graves."
Lord, we also pray for their spiritual well-being. May this gathering be a time of encouragement and strengthening of faith. May they walk in obedience to Your word, and may their love for You and for each other grow stronger.
Finally, we pray for their safe return. Guide them on the roads, Lord, and bring them home safely.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
As you gather, remember to give thanks in all circumstances, as it is God's will for you in Christ Jesus (1 Thessalonians 5:18 WEB). Enjoy your time together, and may God richly bless you all.
