Father God, today is the day you made for us to rejoice. Let us rejoice fully in you. Let us take joy in our families and spend precious time with them. May we reconnect with those we’ve been absent from. May we update and refresh our relationships like we were never apart. May the joy we feel from the love of our families bolster us, encourage us and upgrade our outlook from okay to grand. May you be right there in the midst of our reunion celebration. You are our Father, our source, the author of love and the one who sustains us. We trust you. We praise you. I ask these things in the name and authority of Jesus, according to your good and perfect will. Amen.
” For he who sanctifies and those who are sanctified all have one source. That is why he is not ashamed to call them brothers,saying,
“I will tell of your name to my brothers;
in the midst of the congregation I will sing your praise.”
And again,
“I will put my trust in him.”
And again,
“Behold, I and the children God has given me.”
(Hebrews 2: 11-13 ESV)
