This week there will be no prayer at six, noon & six at Capital Christian. However, that doesn’t mean we stop praying! Take some time this week and gather your family together for a time of prayer. See what God will do and say as you set your attention on Him as a family unit. Prayers prayed within your family will make a miraculous impact! Follow that guide below. Happy Thanksgiving!
1. Come to God with thanksgiving. Take turns declaring the goodness of God in your family.
2. Come to God with praise. Spend time worshiping God together.
3. Pray the Psalm 51 Prayer as a Family
1 Have mercy on me, O God,
because of your unfailing love.
Because of your great compassion,
blot out the stain of my sins.
2 Wash me clean from my guilt.
Purify me from my sin.
3 For I recognize my rebellion;
it haunts me day and night.
4 Against you, and you alone, have I sinned;
I have done what is evil in your sight.
You will be proved right in what you say,
and your judgment against me is just.[a]
5 For I was born a sinner—
yes, from the moment my mother conceived me.
6 But you desire honesty from the womb,[b]
teaching me wisdom even there.
7 Purify me from my sins,[c] and I will be clean;
wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
8 Oh, give me back my joy again;
you have broken me—
now let me rejoice.
9 Don’t keep looking at my sins.
Remove the stain of my guilt.
10 Create in me a clean heart, O God.
Renew a loyal spirit within me.
11 Do not banish me from your presence,
and don’t take your Holy Spirit[d] from me.
12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation,
and make me willing to obey you.
13 Then I will teach your ways to rebels,
and they will return to you.
14 Forgive me for shedding blood, O God who saves;
then I will joyfully sing of your forgiveness.
15 Unseal my lips, O Lord,
that my mouth may praise you.
16 You do not desire a sacrifice, or I would offer one.
You do not want a burnt offering.
17 The sacrifice you desire is a broken spirit.
You will not reject a broken and repentant heart, O God.
18 Look with favor on Zion and help her;
rebuild the walls of Jerusalem.
19 Then you will be pleased with sacrifices offered in the right spirit—
with burnt offerings and whole burnt offerings.
Then bulls will again be sacrificed on your altar.
4. Pray prayers of personal repentance over your immediate and extended family.
5. Spiritual Warfare: Declare God’s victory within your family.
Pray prayers of victory over the enemy.
Pray Psalm 149
6. Close by praying a prayer of covering over your family.
Pray and appropriate the blood of Jesus.
