family relationships

Reading this chapter..... I'm reminded at how close my family once was.
Family has always been important to me, I hold each member close and near to my heart.
My family relationships began to change when I was told that my dad wasn't really my daddy, I began to feel as an outsider and wondered what everyone thought of me.

I've longed to know my daddy and siblings but never really built a strong relationship with any of them(not because I didn't want or desire it but because of my feelings).

So reading this chapter I see how important this prayer is as our family is the first place we're taught relationships and if it's not strong relationship wise, learning to have friendships, marriage relationship or a relationship with Jesus will be very hard.

I'll admit I can have a free open relationship with my children and I did as long as they were under the age of 8 and for whatever reason I began pulling away, putting up walls to protect myself but why I don't know... I didn't know and still not sure but after joining CR and going through a step study I think I've figured it all out... one puzzle piece at a time(don't want to use the onion peel phrase as I'm allergic to onions).


How can we pray for relationships that have been distant or destroyed???
How can we pray for close relationships to be closer and healthy???
How can we pray for our own relationships with our children???

Does anyone find this a little hard???
I am going to commit to praying this prayer not only this week but for weeks... months and years to come.
As relationship is were it all begins.

Blessings to you all...
