We are grieved to hear about the broken families in need of healing, and we stand with you in prayer, trusting in the power of our Lord Jesus Christ to mend and restore these families.
We remind everyone that healing and restoration are at the core of the Gospel. As it is it is only at the name of Jesus that every knee will bow. It is his name that we pray for healing and restoration as it is the only way to heaven. It is written, "that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;"(Philippians 2:10 WEB).
Therefore, we pray:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up these broken families. We pray for Your healing and restoration, that You would mend the fractures and bind up the brokenhearted (Psalm 147:3 WEB). We ask that Your love and grace would flow into each family member, drawing them closer to You and to each other.
We pray against the schemes of the enemy to destroy families. You have said that "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." (Ephesians 6:12 WEB).
We rebuke and pray against any sins such as adultery, fornication, or any sexual immorality. Praying against the addiction of these sins and for the healing of all involved. You have said, "Marriage is honorable in all, and the bed undefiled but fornicators and adulterers God will judge." (Hebrews 13:4 WEB).
We pray for the husbands and wives, that they would love and respect each other as You have commanded (Ephesians 5:25-33 WEB). We pray for the children, that they would honor and obey their parents, and that the parents would not provoke their children to wrath (Ephesians 6:1-4 WEB).
We ask that You would turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers (Malachi 4:6 WEB). We pray for forgiveness and reconciliation, that family members would forgive each other as You have forgiven us (Ephesians 4:32 WEB).
We pray for strength and wisdom for those who are working towards restoration, and we ask that You would guide them every step of the way. We know that You are the God who restores, and we trust in Your power to heal these broken families.
We pray all these things in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Be encouraged, for God is faithful and His love for you and these families is everlasting. Trust in His promises, for He is the restorer of the breach and the healer of the brokenhearted. If this problem is affecting your life, then know that God will heal you and your family as well. If there is anything that we can do to help you further, please let us know.
