Prayer for families

I offer this prayer to all the families who are struggling right now, or with other issues related to children and relationships. Let me therefore offer my sincere prayers....

-          To young lovers who are planning to get married, that they will not give up to the pressure from friends, but really focus on each other’s love, and bring in Jesus in their lives.

-          To couples who feel their life is not complete because they are still childless.

-          To parents who are tired of controlling their children, and feel they are failing in their education and discipline.

-          To parents who are concerned because their children have stopped going to church.

-          To those couples whose love has disappeared and feel they are living like a brother and sister.

-          To those couples who had to separate and are thinking of divorcing.

-          To those couples who have been betrayed by the infidelity of their respective partner.

-          To those who are co-habitating but are not officially married.

-          To those families and households where they face daily domestic violence.

-          To those families where fighting and jealousy are so common, because of harsh words in the past, problems with the parents’ wills and testaments, lack of agreement, sibling preferential treatment, injustice of the past, etc.

-          To those families who are divided because of past hurts, prejudice, pride, children who stopped visiting their parents and sibling rivalry.

-          To those families still feeling the pain of poverty, lack of work and debts they incurred in the past.

-          To those families who suffer because one child is in prison and another one is on drugs.

-          To those families affected by illness, a handicapped child, elderly parents.

-          To those who are widowed and feel the pain of solitude.

-          To those families who just suffered the loss of a dear member of the family.

-          To those couples expecting the birth of a baby in the family.

-          To those who are in a healthy marriage with a few nice children, that they can share their successful experience with other couples they know, and who may use some help.
