Prayer For Resolving Family Conflict
Dear Lord, it is hard to be kind to your family when they are mean to you. But being unkind only makes the situation worse. Lord, let your spirit help us to resolve the issues that we have among ourselves. As we meet and discuss our differences help us to show kindness to one another just the way Jesus was kind to sinners. Remove pride from our hearts and help us to see each other as children of God who are dearly loved and forgiven by our heavenly Father. In Jesus' name, we believe and pray, Amen.
Lord Jesus, you loved us while we were still sinners and you continue to shower us with your love even when we fail. We have lost track as a family because of pain and pride. We have hurt each other through our actions and words. Lord, let your love take control of our thoughts, actions, and words as we interact with each other. Please help us to value each other the same way you value us and give us the grace to treat each other right. In Jesus' name, I pray, Amen.
Heavenly Father, let your Holy Spirit teach us how to put other people first just the way you put us first by giving up your only Son to die on the cross for us. May we experience your love on a new and deeper level that we may be able to love one another with the love of Christ. May we start putting the interests of others before our selfish interests from this day forward. In Jesus' name, I believe and pray, Amen.
Heavenly Father, I bring our family before your throne. Lord, it has been from one conflict to another, and every time we try to resolve our differences, things keep getting worse. The enemy is determined to separate us, but you are the one who brought us together. I stand firm in the authority that you've given me as your child, and I command the devil to leave our family alone. We are covered with the blood of Jesus, and nothing will, by any means, hurt us. In Jesus' name, I believe and pray, Amen.
Oh God, thank you for your word because it is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto our path. Your word says that we do not war against flesh and blood but principalities, powers and the rulers of darkness. We come before you as a family today because we know it is the enemy who has been behind the strife that we've been experiencing in this house. The enemy is not happy with the progress that we are making as a family. Even though we've fallen into the enemy's traps several times, we are rising again in the power of the Holy Ghost. We declare and decree that conflict is not our portion. Lord, help us to do things that will bring glory to your name. In Jesus' name, we believe and pray, Amen.
Dear God, in your infinite wisdom, you started the institution of marriage and family. I believe that my family is a gift from you and the first ministry that you have given to me. But, God, the enemy has waged war against my family. Peace has been replaced with conflict and manipulation. We used to love and respect each other, and now everyone is self-centered. Lord, I repent on behalf of everyone. All of us have wronged you and each other with our selfishness. Forgive us, give us patience so that we can resolve our differences in an amicable way. In Jesus' name, we pray, Amen.

Oh Lord, We have had many disagreements among ourselves as a family. Lord, none of us is ready to admit their mistake; we only want to blame others. Holy Spirit, remind us of the great sacrifice that our heavenly Father made for us through his Son Jesus that we may be humbled in our hearts. Please help us to stop looking at each other's weaknesses and faults. May we forgive one another and be the family that brings glory to your name. In Jesus' name, I believe and pray, Amen.
