Prayer About Family
The Prayer
Heavenly Father,
Thank you for the gift of our family and for the love that binds us together. Watch over our home and help us recognize your presence in both our joys and our difficulties.
Teach us to be patient, quick to forgive, generous in love, and faithful in prayer. When disagreements arise, give us understanding. When someone is struggling, help us carry one another’s burdens.
May our family look to the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph as our example. Teach us the loving obedience of Jesus, the faithful trust of Mary, and the quiet strength of Joseph. May our home, like theirs, be a place where you are welcomed and loved.
Protect those we love, heal division within our family, and guide those who have lost their way. Keep us united in faith and lead each of us closer to your Son.
Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
