Deuteronomy 5:16 Honour thy father and thy mother, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee; that thy days may be prolonged, and that it may go well with thee, in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
As children of God, we need to always stand in the gap for the success and general well being of our parents. One of the major ways to show care and love to your parents is to pray for them, it's to always intercede for their well being. Every time you pray for your parents, you are sowing seeds of long life and a happy life. You can't always pray for your parents and still suffer what they suffered. Regardless of their physical or spiritual condition, pray for them, regardless of whether they were good to you or not, pray for them, even if your parents are witches and wizards, pray for them. If they are sick, pray for their healing, if they are poor provide for them, if they are unbelievers, pray for their salvation. No matter their situation, always pray for your parents. This prayer for parents will help you as you dedicate your parents unto the Lord forever.
It's so unfortunate that in the world we live in today, so many believers have abandoned their parents. They don't care how they survive, this is a very risky thing to do. God expects us to Honour our parents, in fact that is the only commandment with a promise. When we honour our parents, we prolong our days here on Earth. When you honour your parents, that is you take care of them physically, emotionally, financially and spiritually, you are sowing a seed of long life and prosperity on Earth. This prayer for parents will empower you to care for your parents spiritually. As you pray it over them regularly, you shall see them waxing stronger and stronger in Jesus name.
Gracious Father,
You lovingly care for us and supply our needs. You are our strength and in You alone, we find our true inward peace and happiness.
As my parents struggle with their aging bodies, please lovingly care for their health and grant them enough strength to meet their physical challenges. Let Your peace and happiness be upon them, keeping their minds and hearts undisturbed and calm, sustaining their lives and health.
Amen.
