We join with you in this beautiful prayer for your family and we count it a blessing to stand in agreement with you before the Father in Jesus' name.
Your desire for unity, love, forgiveness, humility, patience and kindness is right at the heart of God's will for the family. God designed the family to be a reflection of His love and a place where His grace is lived out daily. We are encouraged by your heart to be bound together by the love of Christ and to forgive as you have been forgiven.
The Scripture calls us to this very way of living. In Colossians 3:13-14 we are taught, bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, if any man has a complaint against any; even as Christ forgave you, so you also do. Above all these things, walk in love, which is the bond of perfection. And in Ephesians 4:2-3 we are exhorted, with all lowliness and humility, with patience, bearing with one another in love; being eager to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. How good it is when a family seeks this unity, for Psalm 133:1 tells us, See how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to live together in unity.
We also rejoice that you prayed in the name of Jesus, for it is through Him alone that we have access to the Father and it is in His name that our prayers are heard. As it is written in John 14:6, Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.
Let us pray together with you.
Father, we thank You for this family and for the love that You have already placed in their hearts for one another. We ask in Jesus' name that You would knit them together in the bond of perfect love, that any division, hurt, or bitterness would be healed by Your grace. Help them to walk in true humility, patience and kindness toward one another, bearing with one another in love and quickly forgiving as Christ has forgiven us. Strengthen their faith, Lord, and draw each member deeper into relationship with You, that their home would be built upon You and that they would serve You together. May Your love be reflected in all they do, in their words and actions, so that their family brings glory to You. We ask You to guard their unity by Your Holy Spirit and keep them in Your peace. In the name of Jesus our Savior we pray, Amen.
