When You Don’t Know What to Pray For Your Family {Resource List}

Praying for my family is a great privilege and responsibility, but I’m going to be honest with you right now: it can be totally overwhelming to me.

Some days I don’t even know where to begin and some days I could pray for hours and hours for my husband and each of the boys!

I am so thankful for several prayers resources that help guide me as I pray for each member of my family, and I want to share my favorites with you today!

Family Prayer Resources I Love

For the whole family:

• The Bible – sometimes a Bible verse is all I really need! There are no shortage of Bible verses to pray for your family!
• Daily prayers for both husband and children from Kat at Inspired to Action – You can find these both on Twitter and Facebook.

For my husband and our marriage:

• Praying God’s Word for Your Husband by Kathi Lipp {read my review here}
• The Power of a Praying Wife by Stormie Omartian
• Daily prayer emails from The Unveiled Wife

For boys:

• Warrior Prayers – The ebook is fabulous, and there are new prayers posted every day on the MOB Society Facebook page!

For kids in general:

• Upside-Down Prayers for Parents {read this with our “book club” in March}
• The Power of a Praying Parent by Stormie Omartian
• Praying God’s Word for Your Kids by Amanda White {FREE when you subscribe to her blog!}
