Mar. 27 - God's Destiny for Families and Individuals

Thursday - Families and Individuals

Week 4 - God's Destiny

Desired outcome for today's prayer - The family is the first covenantal relationship revealed by God in the Bible, so it is important that we pray for families to reach their full potential stating with the covenant of marriage. Marriages should be the fulfilling relationship a person can be in, so our prayers are directed toward that end. Genesi 2:24 "For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh."
