Today, we pray for our relatives

Lord Jesus, we surrender to You today members of our family and our extended family. We pray that strife within our homes is healed and relationships are washed in Your Precious Blood and mended. May we learn to love members of our family as our own, just as You decided they should be our own. May every negative thought and incident be surrendered at the foot of Your cross today. Bless our dear ones to come closer to You and to each other. May we always bless and be a blessing to them. Fill our homes with Your kind of love, peace and joy this Christmas season and forever. Amen.
