We join with you in praying for your family and we are encouraged by your heart for unity and love bound together by Christ. Your desire to forgive as you have been forgiven and to walk in humility, patience and kindness is exactly what God calls families to do, for the family is ordained by Him to reflect His love to the world.
Scripture reminds us how precious this unity is when it says, Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to live together in unity Psalm 133:1. We are also called to bear with one another and forgive each other, just as the Lord forgave us. Above all these things, walk in love, which is the bond of perfection Colossians 3:13-14. And we are exhorted to walk with all lowliness and humility, with patience, bearing with one another in love, being diligent to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace Ephesians 4:2-3.
We pray together with you now.
Father, we lift up this family to You in the name of Jesus. We thank You for Your love and forgiveness toward us through Christ, and we ask that You pour that same love into this home. Bind them together in perfect unity, help them to be of one mind, compassionate and tenderhearted as You have taught us in 1 Peter 3:8. Give them grace to forgive quickly, to speak with kindness, and to bear with one another in love. Clothe them with humility and patience, and let the fruit of Your Spirit be evident in all they do Galatians 5:22-23. Strengthen their faith, draw each heart closer to You, and let their home be a testimony of Your grace and goodness. May they choose daily to serve You together as for me and my house, we will serve Yahweh Joshua 24:15. We ask this in the mighty and saving name of Jesus, Amen.
We encourage you to continue to pray together as a family, to read the Word together, and to practice forgiveness and kindness daily, for love covers a multitude of sins 1 Peter 4:8. As you seek Him together, He will deepen your relationship with Him and with one another, and His peace will guard your home.
