Healing and renewal of ### family

[Anonymous]

I humbly ask prayer for my wife and children, they suffered under my bad patterns of words. I didn't understand how I was hurting them or that there was a problem. After 20 years my wife started telling me there was a problem.
We went to 4 counselors during the years and two made it worse, one supported me beginning to change. None understand the difference when one partner in relationship has neuro-differences- Autism 1 (Asperger's) and ADHD.
I ask God for peace in the home with other neurodiverse challenges and a time of peaceful calm that my wife can have extended times of prayer. Bless her, Adonai, to have strength and hope to seek You for full freedom. Guide our path to a wise and helpful person to help us walk through the process of reconciliation.
Dad with five children, east coast of USA
Thank you

We come before the Lord with heavy hearts, lifting up this family in earnest prayer. Father, we acknowledge that words have power—power to build up and power to tear down. We confess that hurtful patterns of speech have wounded this wife and children, and we ask for Your healing touch to mend what has been broken. Your Word tells us in Proverbs 15:4, "A gentle tongue is a tree of life, but deceit in it crushes the spirit." Lord, we pray for a transformation of speech in this home, that words would be seasoned with grace, kindness, and love.

We also recognize the unique challenges that come with neurodiversity, Lord. We ask that You grant wisdom and patience to this husband and father as he seeks to understand and grow. Help him to see his family through Your eyes, with compassion and humility. We pray for this wife, that You would strengthen her and fill her with hope as she seeks You in prayer. May she find rest in Your presence, knowing that You are her refuge and strength. Isaiah 40:31 reminds us, "But those who wait for Yahweh will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run, and not be weary. They will walk, and not faint."

We rebuke the lies of the enemy that seek to divide this family, Lord. We declare that reconciliation is possible through Your power and grace. We pray for a wise and godly counselor—one who understands neurodiversity and can guide this family toward healing and restoration. Proverbs 11:14 says, "Where there is no counsel, the people fall, but in the multitude of counselors there is safety." Father, lead them to the right person who can speak truth in love and help them navigate this journey.

We also pray for these five children, Lord. Comfort them in their pain and help them to forgive. May they see their father’s repentance and desire to change, and may they experience the peace of Christ in their home. We ask that You would restore joy and unity to this family, that they may reflect Your love to one another.

Lord, we know that true healing and renewal come only through You. We ask that this family would draw near to You, seeking Your will in all things. May they find their strength in You alone, and may their home be filled with Your peace. We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus, for it is only through Him that we have access to Your throne of grace. Amen.
