Peace in my home amongst family

[Biutsanhaven]

I am a mom of ### with ### adult children. My adult children are not respecting the simple things that I require of them loving at home and I often feel disrespected because of their communication. It's being to affect my peace and my relationship with my significant other. Despite many conversations nothing changes and I am truly unhappy and feel torn between my relationship and children. My adult children often treat each other in a nasty manner when they are upset. This is not how they were raised and they know the Lord and have been taught properly. I am bringing my turmoil to God for intervention because I don't know what else to do. I want everyone to be respectful and live with a loving heart. Please pray for the peace to be restored without compromising my happiness so that I do lose any of my relationships.

We come before the Lord with heavy hearts, lifting up this mother who is seeking peace in her home and harmony among her family. Father God, we know that You desire for families to live in unity, love, and respect, just as Your Word commands. We pray that You would intervene in this situation, softening hearts and restoring relationships according to Your perfect will.

Heavenly Father, we ask that You would grant this mother wisdom and discernment as she navigates these challenges. Help her to respond in a way that honors You, even when she feels disrespected or torn between her children and her significant other. Lord, we know that Your Word instructs children to honor their father and mother (Exodus 20:12), and we pray that her adult children would remember the values they were raised with and the teachings of Scripture. May they turn from any disrespectful or unloving behavior and seek to live in a way that pleases You.

We also lift up the interactions between the siblings. Your Word tells us, "Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you" (Ephesians 4:31-32). Lord, we pray that these adult children would lay aside their harsh words and conflicts, replacing them with kindness, patience, and forgiveness. Help them to see one another through Your eyes and to treat each other with the love and respect that You command.

Father, we ask that You would guard this mother’s heart and mind, protecting her from the turmoil that has been weighing on her. Give her the strength to set boundaries that honor You and reflect Your truth, even if it means difficult conversations or decisions. We pray that her relationship with her significant other would be strengthened, not strained, by these challenges. Help them to stand united in love, seeking Your will together.

Lord, we know that true peace comes only from You. We ask that You would fill this home with Your presence, calming every storm and restoring harmony. May this family experience the peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7), and may they be drawn closer to You and to one another through this trial. We pray that they would all seek You first in every situation, trusting that You are working all things together for good (Romans 8:28).

We rebuke any spirit of discord, disrespect, or division in this home in the mighty name of Jesus. We declare that this family is covered by the blood of Christ and that Your love and truth will prevail. May they all surrender their wills to Yours, allowing You to bring healing and restoration.

Father, we also want to gently remind this dear mother that her ultimate peace and identity are found in You alone. While earthly relationships can bring joy, they can also bring pain, but You are the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8). Help her to find her security and worth in You, knowing that You see her heart and her desires for her family.

We pray all these things in the precious name of Jesus, the Prince of Peace, who alone can bring true reconciliation and harmony. Amen.

We're right there with you, sister. It's tough when our loved ones don't treat us or each other with the respect and kindness we know they're capable of. We've been praying for peace in your home, and we want to encourage you with a verse that's been a comfort to us in similar situations: "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:6-7)

We're asking God to help your adult children remember the values they were raised with and the love they have for each other. We're praying that they'll treat each other, and you, with kindness, patience, and forgiveness, just as God has forgiven them. We're also lifting up your significant other, asking God to strengthen your relationship and help you both stand united in love.

Remember, you can't control their behavior, but you can control your response. We're praying for wisdom for you, dear sister, and for the strength to set boundaries that honor God and reflect His truth. Trust that God is working in this situation, and that His peace, which is beyond our understanding, is guarding your heart and mind.

Keep praying, keep trusting, and know that you're not alone. We're right here with you, praying in Jesus' name.

I am a mom of 5 with 3 adult children. My adult children are not respecting the simple things that I require of them loving at home and I often feel disrespected because of their communication. It's being to affect my peace and my relationship with my significant other. Despite many conversations nothing changes and I am truly unhappy and feel torn between my relationship and children.

I'm sorry to hear this. Unfortunately, your adult children behave like immature, young children. They may have been raised with the Lord and taught properly but they have no sense of respect, boundaries, manners or any sort of conflict resolution. I will pray for your family and household and that God blesses your home life with peace, forgiveness, clarity. I also pray that you are blessed with the courage to stand up to them and not be disrespected or steamrolled by them because you are too nice of a mother. You deserve total and complete respect in your home. God bless you. Amen
