Prayer For A Bereaved Family
Father, we pray that the homes of Christian families today, may return to the foundational bedrock of their Christian faith, where Christ is the focus of their hope, where prayer and praise become the daily delight of each member of the household, and where godly principles and practices become the standard and not the exception. Lord, we recognise that the foundations of family life and godly living are being eroded at the very core, by those that would seek to undermine godly principles and replace them with doctrines of demons, pagan practices and devilish devices. But Father, the Lord Jesus Christ Himself said that He would build His church and that the gates of hell would not prevail against her.
Strengthen we beseech You, Christian families today, and may they be drawn back into closer communion with You day by day as husbands and fathers resume their rightful place as the God-ordained head of their household, and their wives adorn the virtuous apparel of the godly and submissive wife. Where children learn respect and obedience to their parents, and when Christ is honoured at every meal-table and reverenced at every bed-side.
Hear oh Lord, the desires and petitions of Your servants, and may the Christian families of our nation and throughout the world, be united in family prayer, family praise and family fellowship with each other and with You. In the name of Jesus Christ our Lord,
Amen.
Dear Father God, thank You so much for my family and for making each one a part of my life. Lord, I praise Your name for each member of my family that knows and loves You and has placed their trust in the Lord Jesus as Saviour. How it rejoices my heart to know that they are secure in You and are bound for heaven. Fill each of us with Your grace and goodness, and may we learn day by day to cast all our cares upon You.
Lord, I also know that there are those that I love that have not yet placed their trust in Jesus and others that have grown weary of the Christian life and have wandered back to worldly activities or selfish pursuits. Reach out Your arm of love to each one and draw them back to You.
Lord, I know that it is not Your will that any of my family should perish, and I long to know that one day we will all be together in heaven. Convict every member of my family of their sin and bring them to a saving faith in Jesus, in Whose name I pray,
Amen.
Heavenly Father, I pray that the light of Your countenance may shine into the lives of each member of my family, and that together we may draw ever closer to each other and to You, as side by side we work to overcome the challenges and difficulties that are part of every day living, and which can so often rise up as a barrier and hindrance in our relationship with each other and with You. Strengthen I pray, that relational bonds that bind us together, and fill each one of us with the love of Jesus, for it is only as we draw closer to You in godly love that we will be equipped by Your Holy Spirit to reach out to each other in the spirit of unity.
Lord, it was by Your decision and will that we were born into this family, and although it is often said that we may choose our friends but not our family, nevertheless Lord, You were the one that chose us to be a part of this family unit, and You desire that each one of us are also a member of the wider body of Christ Jesus our Lord. Bind us together in love I pray, and forgive us all for the ways that we have not honoured Your name in our home as You deserve.
Help us to be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ, God forgave each of us. And may the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God shine in our hearts, from this day forward and for evermore. In Jesus' name I pray,
Amen.
Heavenly Father,
Please shine your light upon my family.
Give us strength to overcome all of the
difficulties that we are dealing with now
and protect us against any and all problems
we may encounter in the future.
O Lord, please bring us together as we
are meant to be. May the love that binds
us only grow stronger as we fulfill the destiny
you have laid out for us.
Grant my family forgiveness for any sins we
have committed. May we also forgive one
another Lord, as it is sometimes difficult to do.
Bless us Lord,
In your name I pray, Amen
Lord,
I want to thank You for this precious family of mine.
For the talents and good things that You have given each of us. Please keep us united, and our bond strong as the days pass.
Please guide us, protect us and equip us to do Your will each and every day. Thank You for all that You are, and all that You have given us.
My heart is forever grateful!
Father, thank you for my family. Thank you for the laughter, the learning, the tears, and the triumphs that fill this home. It is my desire that my family would seek you, Lord. Jesus, I invite you into this house. Teach us. Root us in your word. We belong to you, God. May we honor you with our actions and our words. May we build each other up according to your principles. May we extend forgiveness when there is hurt. May we glorify you in our victories! In Jesus' mighty name, Amen.
Lord our hearts desire is to live in harmony and unity with each other. Bind your love to our hearts so we can live in perfect unity together. Teach us to care for our family members and forgive others for their mistakes.
Dear Heavenly Father we thank you for your unending love. We pray that you would help us to be kind to one another, showing each other the love you've so generously shared with us. In our family may we treat each other with compassion and offer forgiveness in all situations.
