God our healer, we lift up to you in prayer all families who are divided or broken by human failure.
We ask that you draw forth the pains caused by divorce, infidelity, abandonment, and selfishness, as one draws out a poison, and begin the healing that is needed in the hearts of your people.
May the households of humanity be places of reconciliation, forgiveness, and peace.
Lord, restore broken relationships, inspire forgiveness in the wronged, and heal the restlessness and inner pains of those who have divided their own families. Inspire those affected by familial brokenness to pray at all times for your will to be done, both now and in the future.
We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ, by whose own wounds we are healed.
Amen. |
