10 Prayers for Healing Family Wounds
Family can be our greatest joy and our deepest pain. But what if the key to healing those wounds was just a prayer away?
#1: Mending Broken Trust
Dear God, Help me rebuild trust in my family. It’s hard when someone has lied or broken a promise. Give me the strength to be honest, even when it’s tough. Show me how to forgive and trust again. Help my family learn to be truthful with each other, so we can grow closer. Guide us to create a home where we all feel safe sharing our thoughts and feelings. Amen.
#2: Finding Common Ground
Dear God, Sometimes it feels like my family and I are so different. We argue over little things and can’t agree. Please help us see the good in each other. Show us how our differences can make us stronger as a family. Teach us to listen and understand, even when we don’t agree. Help us find things we all enjoy doing together. Bring peace to our home and joy to our hearts. Amen.
#3: Healing Old Hurts
Dear God, There are old hurts in my family that won’t go away. They keep coming back and causing pain. Please help us let go of these old wounds. Show us how to forgive, even when it’s really hard. Heal the parts of our hearts that are still hurting. Help us make new, happy memories together. Give us the courage to talk about our feelings and find ways to move forward. Amen.
#4: Bridging the Generation Gap
Dear God, Sometimes it’s hard to understand my parents or grandparents. We see things so differently. Help me to be patient and respectful, even when we disagree.

Help us learn from each other and grow closer as a family. Amen.
#5: Overcoming Jealousy and Comparison
Dear God, I sometimes feel jealous of my siblings or cousins. It seems like they get more attention or do better than me. Help me see my own special gifts and talents.

Fill our home with love and support for everyone. Amen.

#7: Rebuilding Broken Relationships
Dear God, There’s someone in my family I don’t talk to anymore. It hurts, and I miss them. Please help us find a way back to each other. Give us the courage to take the first step. Help us let go of anger and pride. Show us how to listen and understand each other. Guide us to forgive and start fresh. Bring healing to our relationship and joy back into our family. Amen.
