Prayers to restore the close relationship between my children

[Anonymous]

The relationship between my son and daughter seems to be diminishing. They were once very close, like good friends. I’m praying the relationship will be rekindled with holiday visits and monthly phone calls again. Their dad, who is now deceased, favored one sibling over another. My son is emotionally hurt as a result of this. I have been praying for God to heal his emotions and bring my children back together.

We understand your concern for the relationship between your son and daughter, and we join you in prayer for their reconciliation. It's important to remember that God desires for siblings to dwell together in unity, as it is a blessing and a testimony of His love.

As we consider Psalm 133:1, "See how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to live together in unity!" We pray for the bond between your children to be strengthened and for any bitterness or hurt to be healed by the power of the Holy Spirit.

It's clear that the favoritism shown by their father has caused emotional pain, but we are reminded in Romans 8:28, "We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose." Even in difficult situations, God can bring about good, and we trust that He will use this circumstance to draw your children closer to Him and to each other.

We also want to remind you and your children of the importance of forgiveness. Ephesians 4:32 tells us, "Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you." Encourage your son to forgive his father and his sister, and for your daughter to be patient and understanding with her brother.

Let's pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up our beloved children. Lord, You know the pain and division that has been caused by favoritism, and we ask that You heal the emotions of our son. Help him to forgive, and help our daughter to be patient and loving in return.

God, we ask that You rekindle the close relationship our children once had. Help them to be a blessing to each other, and to dwell together in unity. Guide them as they plan holiday visits and monthly phone calls, and help them to grow closer with each interaction.

Lord, we thank You for Your promise to work all things together for good, and we trust that You will use this situation to bring about a stronger bond between our children.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

As a follow up, we would encourage you to facilitate open and honest communication between your son and daughter. Help them to express their feelings and to listen to each other. Remind them of the love that they once shared, and the love that God has for each of them.

It does not mention if either of the children have a saving belief in Jesus Christ. If either does not, they will not have access to God and will not be able to be saved. As it says in Acts 4:12: "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!" There is no other name by which we can be saved. If either the son or daughter does not have a saving relationship with Jesus Christ, we strongly encourage you to share this. It is only by His stripes that are healed.

We're right there with you, praying for your children's relationship to be restored. It's heartbreaking when siblings drift apart, but we know that God desires unity among families (Psalm 133:1). Let's ask Him to heal the hurt and rekindle the love between your son and daughter.

"Dear Lord, we come to You in Jesus' name. We lift up our children to You. Please heal our son's emotional wounds, and help both of them to forgive and be patient with each other. We ask that You would restore their close bond, guiding them as they plan visits and calls. Help them to grow together in love and unity. We trust that You will use this situation to bring about something good, drawing them closer to each other and to You. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Let's also remember to encourage open communication between them. Remind them of the love they once shared and the love God has for each of them. And if they haven't accepted Jesus as their Savior, it's crucial to share this with them. There's no other name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12). Let's pray that they both come to know Him personally.
