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!}

Where do you turn for guidance to pray for your family? What would you add to the list above?
What a great topic. Other books I’d recommend are Praying Circles Around Your Children by Mark Batterson and 31 Days of Prayer for our Daughters by the ModSquad Blog.
Wonderful additions, Kacey! Thank you for sharing those!
This article is perfect for me, I have no words to pray thus week. I like using the bible to pray, and wondered if you could list a few favorites or do a post on that.
Thanks for you ministryu.
I actually have a post going up on this very thing tomorrow! Hope it is helpful!
