God,
Our family is coming together for Thanksgiving, and some of us haven't spoken kindly in a long time. Lord, go before us to that table. Soften old words. Give me patience when the same argument starts, and grace to listen more than I talk.
In Jesus' name, Amen.

Bible verses about family
And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.
Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.
Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.
