Prayer for Healing the Family Tree
Rev. John H. Hampsch, CMF
Heavenly Father, I come before You as Your child,
in great need of your help; I have physical health needs,
emotional needs, and interpersonal needs. Many
of my problems have been caused by my own failures,
neglect, and sinfulness, for which I humbly beg your forgiveness,
Lord. But I also ask You to forgive the sins of my ancestors
whose failures have left their effects on me in the form of
unwanted tendencies, behavior problems and defects in body,
mind, and spirit. Heal me, Lord of all these disorders.
With Your help I sincerely forgive everyone, especially living
or dead members of my family tree, who have directly
offended me or my loved ones in any way, or those whose sins
have resulted in our present sufferings or disorders.
In the name of Your Divine Son, Jesus, and in the power of
His Holy Spirit, I ask You Father, to deliver me and my entire
family tree from the influence of the evil one.
Free all living and dead members of my family tree,
including those in adoptive relationships, and those in
extended family relationships, from ever contaminating
form of bondage. By Your loving concern for us,
heavenly Father, and by the shed blood of Your Precious Son,
Jesus, I beg You to extend Your Blessing to me and to
all my living and deceased relatives. Heal every negative
effect transmitted through all past generations, and prevent
such negative effects in future generations of my family tree.
I symbolically place the cross of Jesus over the head of each
person in my family tree, and between each generation;
I ask you to let the cleansing blood of Jesus purify the
blood-lines in my family lineage. Set Your protective angels
to encamp around us, and permit Archangel Raphael, the patron
of healing, to administer Your Divine healing power to all of us,
even in areas of genetic disability. Give special power to our
family members’ guardian angels to heal, protect, guide, and
encourage each of us in all our needs. Let your healing power
be released at this very moment, and let it continue as long as
your sovereignty permits.
In our family tree Lord, replace all bondage with a holy bonding
in family love. And let there be an ever-deeper bonding with You,
Lord, by the Holy Spirit, to Your Son, Jesus. Let the family of the
Holy Trinity pervade our family with its tender, warm, loving presence,
so that our family may recognize and manifest that love in all our relationships. All of our unknown needs we include with this petition
that we pray in Jesus’ precious name. Amen
