Prayer for Family

How often do we pray for other Christian families? How often do we pray for our own family to grow in love and wisdom? And how often do we open up our homes to welcome the lonely ones?
As we say this prayer, let us remember all those families in need, especially in need of God's love and mercy.


Almighty God, our heavenly Father, who looks after our fellow Christian families, big or small.

We ask you to continue to bless the homes of Christian families. Do not allow bitterness,desire for selfish glory and arrogance in their hearts.

Lord, continue to fill them with faith, virtue, knowledge, temperance, patience, and godliness.

Put husbands and wives in warm relationships as they have made their marriage vows in your sight. Bless their thoughts , deeds and words.

Help the Christian parents to look after their children in Godly ways. Help their children to grow to love you more and more each day.

Help them to guide their children to love each other and to be kind to others also. Help the children to respect their parents and grandparents.

Bless all the Christian families on earth that we may evermore be kindly one to another; And may they open their homes to reach out to the lonely people who need your help and mercy, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
