Let us pray… family unity

Heavenly Father,

We come before You today, seeking Your divine intervention in our family. We acknowledge that sometimes we struggle to get along, to understand each other’s hearts, and to support one another fully in love. Lord, break the chains of division that may exist among us. Let Your Spirit of peace and unity fill our hearts, reminding us that we are all fighting battles silently. Help us to extend grace and compassion, knowing that Your love is what binds us together.

Lord, Your Word says in John 13:34-35, “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this, everyone will know that you are my disciples if you love one another.” May we be filled with the same love You have shown us. Teach us to see each other with Your eyes of grace, so that we uplift and support one another with care and understanding.

For those of us who feel unloved, Lord, remind them of Your everlasting love. Let them feel Your presence, as it is written in Romans 8:38-39, “For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

Bind us together, Father, for family is one of Your greatest gifts. Let no one feel superior or inferior, for we know that in Your sight we are all Your children. As You remind us in Philippians 2:3, “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves.” Let us walk in humility, love, and mutual respect, knowing that we are all precious in Your sight.

Keep us in Your love, Lord. Surround our family with Your peace, and let us glorify You in the way we love one another. We ask all of this in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.

Amen.
