Dear Lord,
As the holiday season approaches my husband and I will be spending more time with extended family. I pray that our time together goes well. I pray we can be an encouragement to them and a light for You. May Your Holy Spirit guide us and speak to us about what we should say and do for our family. I pray against any bickering or fighting or even awkwardness. I pray joy abounds. I also pray for other families who will be spending more time with their extended families. May You also help them to have a time of jubilee and of encouragement. I know some families have a difficult time coming together so I ask that Your will is done and it is a time of blessing for all in Jesus’ name AMEN!
