There is no such thing as a perfect relationship where even at home we find ourselves arguing with each other. Husband and wife quarrel as brothers quarrel with each other; or sometimes there is a black sheep in the house that gives everyone a headache. This is all part of the life lessons that we need to learn and overcome. This situation is teaching us to value peace and consecrate it in our lives.
I wrote these sentences years ago in response to a friend who is asking prayer for restoration. So I am also writing it here so that you can use it in times of having problems at home and seek refuge in the word of God that can do everything.
Prayer for the Restoration of the Family
Heavenly Father, thank you for caring for all of Your creation and all of Your children but Lord, there are so many areas of our home and family life that are wrong that it seems our entire family is about to fall apart.
Father, I know we’ve all made mistakes (I know we’ve made mistakes and I’m sorry), and we’ve all made some dumb decisions, but Father, I know You’re in the business of restore to those who are hurting and to mend those who are broken and I pray that You will restore our broken family at this time.
Lord, I come to You to guide us and help restore our family relationships, renew our love for one another, and return the respect we show for one another. Restore the family unit we once enjoyed and that we can all expect You to lead and guide us as we move forward in our relationship with each other and with You, I ask this in Jesus name, Amen
Prayer for restoration of the years I have wasted
Father, I am sorry for the years I have wasted unintentionally and I want to turn away from my wasted years and return to You with all my heart, and return to a right relationship with You.
Lord, I know that I do not deserve to have this prayer answered, but I ask for the love of Jesus Christ, who died to pay the price for my sins, that you look upon me with pity and mercy and that you forgive me of my sins and give me back the years that I have lost, when I walked in disbelief and gratuitous ignorance of Your love and grace towards me.

I ask your forgiveness and I pray that in your grace you give me back the years that the locusts have eaten the years that I have foolishly wasted.
Lord, I want to be a good and faithful servant when I stand before Your throne and I know that most, if not all, of the good works I have done will probably burn up, knowing that I have been fighting in the flesh instead of resting in You. and letting Your Holy Spirit live and work through me. Give me back the heavenly joy and inner peace that has been eluding me… help me focus on the eternal rather than the temporary and from this day forward I can begin to live my life in a way that you want me to live, in the name of of Jesus I beg you, Amen

Prayer for Spiritual Restoration
