Dear Heavenly Father, I come before you today with gratefulness and humility in my heart, thanking You for the beautiful family You have blessed me with. They are my fortress, my source of love, happiness, and strength.
Lord, I pray for Your divine protection over my family. Envelop us in Your warm and loving embrace, and keep us safe from harm, illnesses or danger. I humbly ask You to guide us, give us the wisdom to discern right from wrong and patience in our daily interactions. Strengthen our bonds, Oh Lord, and help us maintain harmony within our family.
God, I seek Your guidance in nurturing my family in the path of righteousness, honor, and respect. Guide our children and remind them to honor their mother and father. Impart in them the value of unity and togetherness, for a family that prays together, stays together.
Finally, dear Father, continue blessing our family with Your love so that we might become a testament of Your grace and love, sharing these blessings with others. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
