- Cannot cope with adversity.
Prayer:
- Lord, show us your eternal purpose for our homes.
- Reveal Your divine pattern for my home as it was in the beginning.
- Rescue my home from the restlessness of the old man and all his activities.
- Help me to rise up and take responsibility to live out the Gospel and preach it to my family.
- Flush out the old wine from my home and fill each of us to overflowing with the New Wine.
Lord, please bring my home into the rest of God through the power of the cross in the name of Jesus - Amen.
