Thank you, Lord, for this house full of kids.  Your blessings are beyond measure.  Thank you for each life.  Thank you for all that you are pouring into them.  Thank you for the opportunity to be part of that. 

Holy Spirit, use me today to pray for my children and all my generations to come.  Lord, I plant the cross in the stream of everything that flows down through our family.  In the name of Jesus, every curse, every weakness, every genetic defect, and every generational sin must stop at the cross.  You shall not pass here.  Let all of those things be filtered out and blessing be multiplied.  Lord, be the river of life that flows through our family.

Father, look ahead and provide.  Father I pray for food and shelter and all the basic necessities of life to always be there for my children.  Only you know what lays ahead – but you are Jehovah who looks ahead and provides.  Bless my family.  May they always know you as their divine provider.  I declare that you are King of Kings and Lord of Lords; that you are God over this family.  We will serve you all the days of our lives. 

Holy Spirit, I invite you to be present at every meal, to be part of every conversation and activity.  Help us to always be mindful and aware of you.  To enjoy your company and be accountable to you.  Draw each heart and baptize us into Christ our Savior.  Plunge us deeply into the life of Christ and change us completely to be new creatures in Him.

Father, I ask for a shield of protection around each of us.  Keep us from the bondage of sin.  In the name of Jesus, I  take authority over lust of the flesh and lust of the eyes and pride of life.  Forgive our sins and redeem us from our sinful natures.  Help us all to find the strait gate and the narrow road that leads to a victorious life in you.  Replace this human nature with your divine nature.  Redeem us and transform us into your likeness. 

Fill this family with your love.  Father I pray that your love will heal every wound and mend every broken heart.  You were bruised for our iniquities and the chastisement of our peace was upon you.  Set us free from the pull of familiar sin, and write your name on every heart.

Lord, I pray that each person in this family will have a deep transforming salvation experience in you.  That we all will serve you as Lord and loving master.  That each one of us will stand in right relationship with you.  Lord, I pray that each member of this family will be a pillar in your house, an established oak of righteousness planted by the waters with roots that run deeply into you.  Save us.  Transform us.  Embrace us.  Shape us into a holy nation and a people who walk in your favor. 

Lord, let revelation understanding and application of your word be the hallmark of this family.  Help us to provoke one another to good works and righteousness.  Help us to maintain a culture of righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.  Let your kingdom come and your will be done in our family. 

Holy Spirit, help each of us to make our callings and elections sure.  Prepare us and equip us for the things you have ordained as areas of service for each of us.  Help us to equip each generation with all the tools and weapons necessary to fulfill your will and purpose. 

Embrace this family with your loving kindness and gentle mercy.  Let every heart know your love and your presence.  May we stand before you as a holy nation.  In Jesus’ name.
