10 Ways to Pray for Your Family

The list of ways a mom cares for her family is never-ending. You tuck in, you cook, you sew on buttons, you kiss boo-boos, you give pep talks—and all that happened just yesterday! But praying for your family is one of the most nurturing, motherly things you can do, so we say, put it at the top of your daily to-do list.

Sometimes we think we have to be spinning around the house, busy, moving, and active to make a difference in the lives of our children and husbands. But it’s in the stillness and quiet of praying for your family that you find peace, encouragement, and wisdom, and that’s the real difference-maker. When God’s peace rests within us, it spills over to our children and the spirit and mood in our homes change. Sure, there are still arguments, rough days, or even crises, but we know who is ultimately in control. 

And every family is faced with trials. When things get difficult or life-threatening many of us turn to prayer, but why wait for things to get difficult? Do it now. Praying for your family helps you focus on what’s really important.

So how do you pray? What do you pray for? Well, unlike iMOM’s specific prayers for husbands, marriage, teens, toddlers, or middle schoolers, these prayers for your family focus on your family unit and how you are growing, being challenged, or impacting the world together. Each prayer includes something you can pray for and a verse from the Bible to reflect on. So whether you’re looking for more love among everyone, wisdom for a family decision, or that others will see God reflected in your family, there’s a prayer for it! Pick a new prayer each day or meditate on the entire list throughout the day.
