A prayer for my household

Dear Lord,

Thank you so much for all your blessings. We are so thankful for each other and the unique way you put us together individually. We are also amazed at the special blend of personalities that make up our family.

Please draw us close to you. Give us hearts that look to you in the midst of difficult times. Help us to turn our eyes to you when pain, frustration and fear want to stare us in the face. Help us to be honest with you, and to listen to what you are saying to us. Give us hearts to listen and wills to obey.

Lord, give us peace in our home—within ourselves as well as with each other. Let a steadfast peace between us and you be reflected in our relationships together.

Give us a deep and lasting joy that is unshakable.

Protect us God—not only from the affects of the evil in our world, but also from our hearts being captured by what looks good in the world—power, influence, riches, significance, and success.

May our lives bring you glory.

In Jesus name,

Amen
