Prayer for Family

Oh Holy Father in Heaven,

You are the Lord...there is nothing that I can do without you. I can try and try, but it will be a failure if I try to do it without you. You don't need me to do anything...you made all of the universe without me, you created life without me. You are so beautiful and amazing and powerful! How amazing it is to see your people be the hands and feet of your son, Jesus. What a blessing it has been to step out in faith and see with new eyes. Lord, seeing with new eyes I see my family. I see you there. I see you as a hobby, on the backburner...you are something that they "do" and it breaks my heart. I can't stand to watch them drifting farther and farther and I don't have the courage to stand out and speak truth to them Lord. I don't have the words for them Lord. I need your grace...your Holy Spirit...I need you to get through to them. Lord, just let there be revival in the hearts of my family. Let them reignite the passions that they once had...the fires that were burning for you Lord. Let them seek you, and question what would be glorifying to you. And Lord, just forgive me. Forgive me for holding back, and not speaking truth to them time and time again. Help me to be able to stand out in faith with my family Lord, and hope that they accept what I have to say. Help me Lord to be strengthened by your word. Lord help me to accept the loss of relationship if they don't accept what I need to tell them. Help me to deal with it without becoming bitter. Thank you so much for them Lord, because they raised me and helped mold me into who I am today Lord, thank you so much for that! Thank you for every breath that they breathe Lord. Just help them to burn for you and to desire a real, intimate, personal relationship with you Lord.  Help them to not just know your word, but to desire and try to live it daily! Help them Lord, and help me. Lord I'm really just praying for revival of their hearts and minds...for my family, for our country.  Help them to be lights unto the world. Help them to desire to actively seek you Lord.  You are so amazing, and you are the only one who can do this. You are all knowing and all powerful and so loving. It's in the precious name of your son who died to save me, Jesus, that I pray Lord. Amen.
