A Prayer for Dealing with Difficult Parents

If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and He will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking. – James 1:5 NLT

Lord, I ask today for wisdom for every child dealing with difficult elderly parents. Give them wisdom to navigate their relationship with their parents. Give them a discerning heart, grace to persevere and strength to do your will concerning their aging parents.

I ask that you help them release all bitterness and anger that they may surrender to your way of loving others. Help them to forgive and give them strength to do what is right even when it is difficult.

I pray that you fill their hearts with unconditional love for their parents and also open the hearts of their parents to receive this love without judgement and criticism. Heal all that is broken in these families and restore the lost years as you help each one of them relinquish control and yield to the work of the holy Spirit in their lives. I pray for all of these in Jesus name. Amen!
