Preventing A Further Break in One’s Family

We all know that blended families exist; this is common today, but do we understand why? More important can we stop one from occurring. Any time you see a blended family, it’s easy to overlook the damage that occurred in creating one and the dynamics that must be navigated because of it.

“Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand.”– bible.com/bible/114/MAT.12.25.NKJV

From the words of Jesus, you can ascertain that any time a kingdom, in your case a family is divided, headed in two directions: that kingdom, that family will not stand. It breaks apart and the pieces end up in other kingdoms, other families. Thus a blended family is formed. 

[Pray This] Lord, help our family to have one direction. Give us what we need to prevent thoughts and actions that divide us. We know that once divided the next step is failure. Therefore, help us remain united in Jesus’ name.

Your Action (What action based on your prayer can you take?):
Here’s what I can do. 1) identify areas of division or contention, 2) sit down and discuss a plan to make sure all parties are on the same page, 3) make the adjustments necessary to remain together.
