God Almighty, our loving Father. You are the God who gave life to me, the one who formed me inside my mother’s womb. Thank You for the lives of my parents and siblings. Thank You for giving me the opportunity to live within the embrace of my family members. I am thankful for the love You continue to show me through them.
Lord, I thank You for the gift of home and family. Nothing has ever made me feel content than being around my parents, my siblings and even our pets.

I pray that more and more godly families will be established and raised. This is my prayer in Jesus’ name. Amen.
