Almighty God,

I lift up my loved ones to you today.

I pray for your blessings over them.

I pray that the world’s ways will not triumph in their lives this day, this week, this month, and this year.

They were created to be POWERFUL – in YOU.

They were created to be VICTORIOUS – in YOU

They were created to walk in the Power, Purpose, and Peace of Jesus Christ.

That is your will – and I ask for your will to be done.

In Jesus’ name I pray,
