(NOTE: Repeat all of the prayer whether you know for sure anyone in your family did these things or not - because it covers the very FIRST generation in your family line and most of us have no knowledge of those people).

As a member of this family line I repent for all of those who suppressed the truth by their wickedness.

I repent for all those who, although they knew God, neither glorified Him as God nor gave thanks to Him because their thinking was futile and their foolish hearts were darkened.

I repent for all those who became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.

I repent for the sinful desires of my ancestors' hearts who gave their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another.

I repent for all those who exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshipped and severed created things rather than the Creator - who is forever praised.

I repent for the shameful lusts of my ancestors and for the women who exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones - even those women in my family line who abandoned natural relations with men and were inflamed with lust for one another, women who committed indecent acts with other women, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.

I repent for the men in my family line who abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another, men who committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.

I repent for those who did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, and therefore they were turned over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done.

I repent for all those who have been filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity, and for all those who were full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, and malice.

I repent for all those who were gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; for all those who invented ways of doing evil, who were disobedient to their parents, who were senseless, faithless, heartless, and ruthless.

I repent for those who although they knew God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approved of those who practiced them.

(Scripture reference: Romans 1:18-32)
