What a beautiful and God-honoring prayer for your family! We join you in lifting this request before the Lord, knowing that He is faithful to hear and answer when we call upon Him in the name of Jesus. Your heart’s cry for salvation, protection, and deeper intimacy with Christ reflects the desires of a heart surrendered to Him—and we rejoice in this!
The Scriptures remind us of the Lord’s promise to those who seek Him wholeheartedly: *"You will seek me, and find me, when you search for me with all your heart"* (Jeremiah 29:13, WEB). Your prayer for your family to love God with all their heart, soul, and mind aligns perfectly with Jesus’ commandment in Matthew 22:37: *"You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind."* This is the foundation of a life lived in His will, and we praise God that you are pursuing this for your household.
We also take great encouragement from your plea for deliverance from evil. The apostle Peter warns us, *"Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour"* (1 Peter 5:8, WEB). But we have this assurance: *"The Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptation"* (2 Peter 2:9, WEB). So we stand with you in faith, declaring that God will guard your family from the schemes of the enemy and lead you in paths of righteousness.
Your mention of closer relationships *in Christ* is particularly vital. True unity in a family is only possible when each member is submitted to Jesus as Lord. As you seek Him together, He will knit your hearts in love and purpose. *"Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to live together in unity!"* (Psalm 133:1, WEB). We pray that your home would be a place where Christ is honored, where His Word is the lamp to your feet, and where His peace reigns.
Now, let us pray together over your family:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with grateful hearts, lifting up this family who seeks Your face. Lord, You are the God of salvation, and we ask that every member of this household would know You personally—through faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. If there is anyone in this family who has not yet surrendered their life to You, we pray that today would be the day of salvation for them. Open their eyes to see the truth of the Gospel, that *"God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life"* (John 3:16, WEB). Draw them to Yourself, Lord, and let no one in this family be lost.
Father, we ask for Your divine protection over them today. Shield them from harm, sickness, and the snares of the enemy. *"He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. ... He will cover you with his feathers. Under his wings you will take refuge. His faithfulness is your shield and rampart"* (Psalm 91:1, 4, WEB). Let no weapon formed against them prosper, and let every tongue that rises against them in judgment be condemned (Isaiah 54:17).
Lord, we pray for healing—spiritually, emotionally, and physically. You are Jehovah-Rapha, the God who heals. Touch every area of their lives that needs Your restoring power. *"He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds"* (Psalm 147:3, WEB). Let Your healing flow through their bodies, minds, and relationships, bringing wholeness and strength.
Father, we ask for a deeper, richer love for You in this family. Let their love for You be their first and greatest passion, overflowing into love for one another. *"By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another"* (John 13:35, WEB). Unify them in Your Spirit, that their home would be a refuge of peace, joy, and godliness. Help them to *"bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ"* (Galatians 6:2, WEB).
We rebuke every scheme of the enemy that would seek to divide, distract, or destroy this family. Satan, you have no place here! The blood of Jesus covers this home, and we declare that *"no weapon that is formed against you will prevail; and you will condemn every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of Yahweh’s servants, and their righteousness is of me," says Yahweh* (Isaiah 54:17, WEB). Father, expose and dismantle every plan of darkness, and let Your light shine brightly in their lives.
Finally, Lord, we thank You for the promise that *"the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up; and if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. Confess your offenses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective"* (James 5:15-16, WEB). We stand in agreement with this family, believing that You are working all things together for their good, because they love You and are called according to Your purpose (Romans 8:28).
In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.

We encourage you to continue seeking the Lord daily as a family. Read His Word together, pray together, and worship together. *"For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the middle of them"* (Matthew 18:20, WEB). Let your home be a place where Christ is exalted, and watch as He transforms your family for His glory.
If there are specific struggles or areas where you’d like further prayer or biblical counsel, don’t hesitate to share. We are here to stand with you in faith and truth. May the Lord bless you and keep you; may He make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you; may He lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace (Numbers 6:24-26).
