Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, grateful for the gift of family. We thank You for the bond that we share, and for the love that we have for one another.
Help us to always remember that our family is a blessing from You, and to treat one another with kindness, patience, and respect.
Guide us as we navigate the challenges that life brings, and give us the strength and wisdom to support one another through the difficult times.
May our home be a place of peace, joy, and strength, where we can grow in our faith and draw closer to You.
We pray that You will bless our family, and keep us safe under Your loving care.
In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
