Family of Faith

Ephesians 2:19-22

Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his household, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.

Loving Heavenly Father, as we bow down before the majesty and glory of Your presence we come with hearts full of joy, praise and thanksgiving that You are our God and the Father of our blessed Lord Jesus Christ.

Thank you for the great love you have showered upon us in creating us in family units. As 'every good and perfect gift comes down from the Father of Lights with whom there is no variableness nor shadow of turning'. Thank you for our mother's love, our father's care and our siblings companionship as we share and live our lives together. 

Thank you Lord that you have formed us into communities made up of distinct yet interrelated families each with their own invaluable and irreplaceable contribution to make. 

Above all we thank you for the family of faith who have trusted by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and in so doing have become through Him heirs and co-heirs of an eternal kingdom. 

Lord, bless and strengthen our families in Your grace and love for we ask it all in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ together with all our sins. Amen.
