Prayer based on the passage or principle:
Dear God who puts the lonely in families, thank You for allowing Abraham to take another wife after Sarah died. May You help other believers whose spouse has died to do the same. Please advise Your followers about how to wisely distribute their legacy as Abraham did. Thank you that You blessed Isaac after Abraham’s death. Please bless people after the death of their parents (or other loved ones) today. Please lessen the effects of the current hostility between tribes and other people groups. Cause them to experience the peace that comes from You. May this be true especially in the area spoken of in the Bible that we now call the Middle East. Bless parents with wisdom in how they discipline and relate to their children. May siblings live at peace with each other and avoid rivalry and selfishness. May Your followers overcome fear with truthfulness and trust in You. Then may they hear from You and be blessed as Isaac was. May we all seek to live peacefully with each other and bring You glory, LORD. AMEN
