Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus, giving thanks for the parents who faithfully pray for their children and teach them Your Word. We lift up Farmington and specifically thank You for the stepfather and wonderful mother who have diligently prayed for their children and guided them in the ways of righteousness. We ask that You continue to bless them abundantly for their commitment to raising their children in the fear and knowledge of You.
Lord, we also pray for all parents who have chosen to adopt children, extending their love and providing a nurturing environment. We ask that You pour out Your blessings upon them, granting them wisdom, strength, and patience as they teach these children about Your love and the path to eternal life. May their example of holy and pure living be a lasting testimony that leads these children to a personal relationship with You.
Father, we pray that You would surround these parents with Your grace and favor. Grant them the resources and support they need to fulfill their role as spiritual guides and mentors. May their children grow in faith, knowing that they are loved and cherished by both their earthly parents and by You, their Heavenly Father.
We declare Your promise from 1 John 3:1, "Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God." We thank You for the privilege of being called Your children through Jesus Christ. Help us to always approach You with reverence and worship, acknowledging Your holiness and giving thanks for Your goodness.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
