Prayers for your family

A blessing over my family

The LORD bless you, and keep you. The LORD make his face to shine on you, and be gracious to you. The LORD lift up his face toward you, and give you peace.Numbers 6:24–26 (World English Bible)

Father, I lift up my family to You, each one by name. Thank You for every expression of care and every good thing I can recognize in our lives.

Protect them. Draw them close to You. Where there is tension, bring peace. Where there is need, provide. Let our home be a place where Your love is felt.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Father, I bring my family before You and ask for peace in the matters on my heart. Guide the words we choose and the expectations we carry. Help me listen without assuming, care without controlling, and recognize when a little space would help.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
