Prayer For Families

Father in Heaven, thank you for the ability offer prayer for families.

 

Thank you for the many things that make us uniquely ourselves, and the things that mesh us together as one. Thank you for the Fathers, Mothers, Aunts and Uncles who are still here and those that have gone on who stood as pillars to the children closest to them. What one parent may have lacked, their siblings, nieces and nephews were so willing stepped up to give us what they had. Whether it was, discipline, clothing, spending time with each other, life lessons, a hair-do on a special occasion, a shoulder to cry on, or a testimony to live for YOU.  We are better people and forever grateful for your provision.

Lord, I ask you in this prayer for families, that what the devil meant for evil, you would make it for our good.

I ask that you would break our family curses. Curses, which essential are patterns of behavior that is not pleasing to you, that continue discord and strife. I pray that you touch the hearts of those who don’t see eye to eye. Let them accept those differences. Yet, bring them back to loving, healthy and renewed relationships.

God, will you make us a family that draws closer each and everyday. So that when Your will for our lives are done, that our gatherings are to celebrate the lives of the ones we lost and not serve as family reunions.

Gracious Father, I send this prayer for families all around the world. Give us the ability to share what is going on in our lives-good or bad. So that we are not in a bubble by ourselves until something drastic happens. There is strength in numbers. Let us be there for each other when we need prayer and in going through life’s storms.  Lord, when we share, let everyone be good listeners and speakers, encouragers, prayers and servants to one another.


Finally, Father, because you are omnipresent, therefore, you know all and see all and there is nothing too hard for you and you are connected to this prayer for families. Arrest every sickness and disease that has taken hold of our family members. I pray for full recoveries.  For those who are still mourning the lose of our loved ones, that you turn their mourning to dancing, turn their sorrows to joys. For, those who struggle with addictions, be it food, drugs, alcohol, I pray that we are not slaves those things.

 This prayer for families encompasses our extended families as well.

Let our unions be loving, caring, forgiving, slow to anger, that represent the Fruits of the Spirit. Give us all visions for lives. Let the example of what you deem as family, be played out in our character as individuals and our relationships with each other. All for your glory!

In Jesus' name, I pray Amen!


Blessings and more blessing to you,
