A prayer for healing family strife.

"A family splintered by feuding will fall apart." Mk 3:25 NLT

"Lord, your Word says, 'A family splintered by feuding will fall apart. Satan is attacking my family, and I'm turning to you for help.

Your Word says, 'When the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will [be my defense and] lift up a standard against him' (Isa 59:19 NKJV). 

Touch the hearts and minds of every member of this family, and draw them closer to you. You said, 'Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God' (Mt 5:9). 

I commit myself to be a peacemaker in this situation, and ask you for the wisdom to know what to say and do. Deliver my family from selfishness, pride, and bitterness. Give us the sort of love that covers all sins and weaknesses (See Pr 10:12). 

Help us to know when a disagreement is about to open a floodgate, and give us the grace to drop the matter before the clash gets out of control (See Pr 17:14). 

Your Word says that avoiding a fight is a mark of honor, and that only fools demand to quarrel (See Pr 20:3). 

Lord, put an end to the strife that is wreaking havoc in our family. I take authority over every contentious spirit. I ask you to help my family start to pursue things that produce peace and the things we can use to edify and build one another up (See Ro 14:19).

Your Word says that there is nothing too hard for you (See Jer 32:17). So, I'm praying and believing for healing and restoration in my family. In Jesus' name. Amen."
