I pray that your love keeps us united always, through happy and sad times, through sickness and health, and job loss and promotions. Help us to always pray for each other and wish each other well in our endeavors. Remove any shred of jealousy in our hearts that we may celebrate each other’s achievements. Amen.

Restore Love Prayer

Togetherness Prayer
King of kings, I am on knees seeking your help in how to bring unity to my family. Everybody is busy with their lives. We’ve grown distant from each other. I desire the family bond we once had. Lord, step in and bring us together. Let us share our laughter in joyful times and cry together in sad times. Help us to be there for one another, Lord. Amen.

Protection from Devil Prayer
Mighty God, thank you for my family. It is my support system in everything I do. Thank you for the unity we have. I pray that you cover us with the mighty blood of your son so that the devil may not disrupt our peace, for he is roaming around looking for whom he can devour. Help us encourage each other by sharing your word, which has all your promises. Pray for each other’s strength in moments of weakness. Amen.

Forgiveness Prayer
Father, I come before you with a heavy heart. My family is divided. There’s no peace. Help us. Let our hearts want to live peacefully with each other. Help us let go of our pride and ask for forgiveness when we are wrong and forgive those who’ve wronged us too. Let your unending love consume the feelings of rage, bitterness, and jealousy built up in our hearts. Teach us how to live in ways pleasing to you, Lord. Amen.

Our Rock Prayer
Lord, I bow before you thanking you for the wonderful family you have given me. I rebuke the devil’s plans to divide us. We go through challenges and we overcome them together through prayers.

Sibling Rivalry Prayer
Glorious Father, we seek your intervention during these trying times as a family. Sibling rivalry has taken over our hearts. Restore unity among us. Help us be humble and treat each other with respect regardless of our financial stability or our level of education. Take away the pride in us and let us help each other with cheerful hearts.

Let your love be our motivation. Amen.

Obedience Prayer
Jesus Christ, teach us your obedience that we may be obedient to our parents and everyone regardless of age, class or career. Let our focus be on the reward you’ve promised for obedience.

Help us to keep the peace with everyone and live a life that glorifies you. Amen.

Harmony Prayer
Heavenly Father, I come before you seeking your help in maintaining peace and harmony in my family. It’s good and pleasant when your people live together in peace.

We submit our burdens to you as a family. Give us rest. We trust you. Amen.

Open Our Hearts Prayer
King of kings, we humble ourselves before you asking for unity in our family. A lot has been happening and we’ve grown distant.

Amen.

We thank you for our forefathers who instilled the importance of family unity in our lives. Help us make them proud. Let your love overflow in our lives. Amen.

Reconciliation Prayer
Mighty Father, we kneel before you as cousins, asking for your intervention in bringing our families together. Our parents have their differences and we don’t want to be a part of it. We don’t want to inherit their grudges. We want to help them reconcile their differences. Help us make that happen, Lord. We desire unity in our family. We want everyone to have the same goal which is: unconditional support for each other in good and bad times. We depend on you. Amen.

Mold Us Prayer
Heavenly Father, we pray that you may mold us into a family who observes the right ways of living; ways that are pleasing to you.

Let all our eyes focus on the finished work of Jesus on the cross. Let everything we do be a service to you. Amen.

Guidance Prayer
Heavenly Father, we humble ourselves before you, asking for your guidance in maintaining united and happy families. Let husbands love and understand their wives as the heads of the families.

We pray this in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Responsibility Prayer
God, we bow before you asking you to help us solve the division in our family. Restore unity among us. Give us the humility to treat everyone equally and to respect everyone’s opinion. Let each one of us take responsibility for making peace with everyone to avoid grudges. Help us to refrain from gossiping; it fuels enmity within a family. Guard our thoughts against wishing for bad situations to happen to others. Let us always wish each other well. Amen.

Christian Living Prayer
Almighty God, we ask for unity in our family. We rely on you for your peace, which surpasses human understanding. Bring us together that we may stand for each other for better and for worse.
