What is the best prayer for a family?

Answered by Edward Huber

Prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, I come before you today with a heart full of love and concern for my family. I ask for your divine protection to be spread over them, like a shield that guards them from harm and danger. Lord, I know that in this world, there are many uncertainties and challenges that my loved ones may face. But I trust in your unfailing love and faithfulness to watch over them.

Father, guide my family in every decision they make, both big and small. Help them to seek your wisdom and discernment in all areas of their lives. May they rely on your strength and not their own, knowing that you are their ultimate source of provision and guidance.

Lord, I pray for my family’s physical safety. Protect them as they go about their daily activities, whether it be at work, school, or simply running errands. Keep them safe from accidents, illnesses, and any form of harm that may come their way. I ask for your angels to surround and watch over them, ensuring their well-being.

But Lord, I also pray for their emotional and spiritual well-being. In a world that can be so busy and demanding, help my family to find rest and peace in you. Grant them the strength to overcome any trials or hardships they may face, and fill their hearts with your peace and joy. Help them to trust in you, knowing that you are always with them, guiding and comforting them.

Father, I lift up my children to you. Protect them from negative influences and help them to make wise choices. Surround them with godly friends who will encourage and support them in their walk with you. Give them a hunger for your Word and a desire to seek after you with all their hearts.

Lord, I pray for unity and love to abound in my family. Help us to prioritize our relationships and make time for one another. May we always treat each other with kindness, respect, and understanding. Strengthen the bonds between us, and help us to be a source of encouragement and support to one another.

Lord, I thank you for the promise of your presence and protection. I trust in your unfailing love and faithfulness. I know that you are watching over my family, both now and forevermore. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
