Day 11 of 40 Days of Prayer

Scripture: Malachi 4:5-6 & Luke 1:17

Meditation: The last words of scripture speak about the role of John the Baptist and his mission to prepare the way for the coming Messiah. It is interesting to note that his mission is described as turning the hearts of the father's toward their children, and the children's hearts to their fathers. It seems that a culture without Christ is marked by a breakdown in the family, and that when Christ is the center of our life, then family is restored to it's proper place in our lives. Where is your heart turned?

Prayer: Father, we are privileged beyond words that we can call you father. Help us to show you true honor by how we treat our children and parents that you have given us.
