CHILDREN, OBEY your parents in the Lord [as His representatives], for this is just and right. Honor (esteem and value as precious) your father and your mother–this is the first commandment with a promise–That all may be well with you and that you may live long on the earth.
—–Ephesians 6:1-3 (Amplified Bible)
Dearest Abba Father, the first commandment with a promise is to the child who obeys his/her parents in the Lord. You said that all will be well with him/her and he/she will live long on the earth. We affirm this promise for us, asking You to give us an obedient spirit that we may honor our parents.Lord, forgive us for rebelliousness , disobedience and disrespect we have shown toward our parents in the past, which may have caused our parents a great deal of hurt and heartache.We release the anointing that is upon Jesus Christ to bind up and heal our parents’ broken hearts. Thank You for the Holy spirit who leads us into all truth and corrects and guides us. We commit our parents unto your loving care. Please comfort them and fill them with Your joy and peace.Bless our parents with long healthy life. In Jesus’ name. Amen!
