A Christian Home

Prayer Points

  • Let us thank the Lord for His selfless, sacrificial and unconditional love for us; thank Him for His redemptive power which neither fails nor diminishes.     
  • Let us thank the Lord for our families; thank Him for this great opportunity to pray for our families on this platform.
  • Let my family be consumed by Your great love; be the solid rock upon which my family stands.
  • Father, please grant me the grace to hold on to You till the very end; to hold on earnestly to this truth I have heard and received (Hebrews 2:1-3). Help me not to neglect this great Gospel You have freely given to us; help me not to drift away; give me focus and take away any form of distraction.
  • Help me Father, to truly be a faithful follower of Christ and be ready to obey His commandments/instructions without questions.
  • Please Lord, run the affairs of my life/family/home so that I will not mess things up.        
  • Let my life truly be a reflection of You (Christ); give me the grace to totally surrender myself to You so that I can be used by You in Your own way. 
  • Lord, please show me mercy.
  • Let Your word be sharp in my mouth so that I can lead these ones (my family members both nuclear and extended) you have given me, to Christ (to You).
  • Pray into this hymn:
  
A Christian Home

O give us homes built firm upon the Saviour,
Where Christ is Head, and Counsellor and Guide;
Where ev'ry child is taught His love and favor

And gives his heart to Christ, the crucified:
How sweet to know that tho' his footsteps waver
His faithful Lord is walking by his side!


O give us homes with godly fathers, mothers,
Who always place their hope and trust in Him;
Whose tender patience turmoil never bothers,
Whose calm and courage trouble cannot dim;
A home where each finds joy in serving others,
And love still shines, though days be dark and grim.


O give us homes where Christ is Lord and Master,
The Bible read, the precious hymns still sung;
Where prayer comes first in peace or in disaster,
And praise is natural speech to ev'ry tongue;
Where mountains move before a faith that's vaster,
And Christ sufficient is for old and young.


O Lord, our God, our homes are Thine forever!
We trust to Thee their problems, toil, and care;
Their bonds of love no enemy can sever
If Thou art always Lord and Master there:
Be Thou the center of our least endeavor:
Be Thou our Guest, our hearts and homes to share.


  • Family: (spouses, parents, children, brothers, sisters and relatives etc). Let us present the list of our family members before the Lord. Dear Lord, please show them mercy and establish them in Your truth.
  • Pray for the sick among us.
