Lord,
I pray for (name of child) and her(his) relationship with all family members. Protect and preserve them from any unresolved or permanent breach. Fill her(his) heart with Your love and give her(him) an abundance of compassion and forgiveness that will overflow to each member of the family. Specifically, I pray for a close, happy, loving and fulfilling relationship between (name of child) and (name of family member) for all the days of their lives. May there always be good communication between them and may unforgiveness have no root in their hearts. Help them to love, value, appreciate, and respect one another so that the God-ordained tie between them cannot be broken. I pray according to Your Word, that they "be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another" (Romans 12:10).
Teach my child to resolve misunderstandings acccording to Your Word. And if any division has already begun, if any relationship is strained or severed, Lord, I pray that You will drive out the wedge of division and bring healing. I pray that there be no strain, breach, misunderstanding, arguing, fighting, or separating of ties. Give her(him) a heart of forgiveness and reconciliation.
Your word instructs us to "be of one mind, having compassion for one another; love as brothers, be tenderhearted, be courteous' (1Peter 3:8). Help her(him) to live accordingly. "endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace" (Ephesians 4:3). In Jesus' name I pray that You would instill a love and compassion in her (him) for all family members that is strong and unending, like a cord that cannot be broken.
