The family we are praying for are making decisions every day that will affect the rest of their lives. It is our desire that God would use our prayers to enhance their wisdom in order to make good decisions - and to reduce their regrets when they don’t. As we pray for their relationships with Jesus to deepen, we are also addressing their need for greater and greater wisdom.

for gaining wisdom and instruction;

    for understanding words of insight;

for receiving instruction in prudent behavior,

    doing what is right and just and fair;

for giving prudence to those who are simple,

    knowledge and discretion to the young—

let the wise listen and add to their learning,

    and let the discerning get guidance—

Proverbs 1:2-5

Father, it is so easy for days and years to pass by before we realize they are gone. I pray for the __________ family, that you would help them realize how precious each moment is. Teach them to savor each day as a gift from you and help them to live each day with purposeful intentionality. He them to realize that they should always seek to follow you faithfully. Remind them that it is living for you that their lives become most fulfilling. For your glory and their good, in Jesus’ name, amen.
