We join you in praying the Lord's Prayer, echoing the words of our Savior: "Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. Bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For yours is the Kingdom, the power, and the glory forever. Amen." Matthew 6:9-13, in Jesus' name.
Regarding the need for understanding and love for God's Word and ways for the wife and child, we ask Heavenly Father, You are the source of all understanding and wisdom.

We ask for their understanding of Your will through Your Word as it is written, "The entirety of Your word is truth, and all Your righteous judgments endure forever," Psalm 119:160.

May they know that "From infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right," 2 Timothy 3:15-16. Thank you in Jesus' name.
