Valley of Praise Guide for June

Focus for June

Dear Friends and Partners before the Throne,

We do apologise for the lateness of this letter but we were in The Florida Outpouring two weeks ago and last week we were at our denominational Conference in Prestatyn.

Isaiah 60:1-3

Arise, shine;
For your light has come!
And the glory of the LORD is risen upon you.
2 For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth,
And deep darkness the people;
But the LORD will arise over you,
And His glory will be seen upon you.
3 The Gentiles shall come to your light,
And kings to the brightness of your rising.


It would be wonderful if as many of us who can join together at
7:30 am every morning – united prayer just for three minutes to proclaim these words over the Valley of Praise.
All over Hertfordshire prayer warriors are doing the same thing over Herts. There is great power in our united declaration, so let’s go for it!

FOCUS ON MARRIAGE AND THE FAMILY

Heavenly Father, thank you for Your ideal of marriage in which a man and a woman can live together in love and mutual dependence as equals. We pray for engaged and newly married couples to learn to love and increasingly understand one another, generously sharing what they have.”

Pray for Christian marriages and families to be beacons of encouragement in our communities, causing many in the next generation to see a lifestyle of lifelong fidelity and commitment as preferable to the uncertain future experienced by many couples living in a co-habiting relationship.

Remember those who are unhappily married – especially people who are suffering abuse and feel too paralysed to take any action. Ask God to help them, through His presence and the support and prayers of family and friends and others who offer advice and assistance.

Pray for couples facing issues of unfaithfulness, whether through illicit relationships, the use of pornography or other activities. Pray that they will find effective help as individuals and together – not giving up but determined to repent, forgive and restore their loving relationship.

Pray for the families of couples who are in a second marriage. Ask God to give these parents patience, understanding, wisdom and love for stepchildren as they adapt to this new situation. Pray too for children who are adopted and fostered.
