Therefore, in such situations, intercessory prayers for your family can be a significant way of requesting their safety and other blessings, regardless of their location. Below are some prayers you can make.

God established and ordained the union of a family during creation when He joined Adam and Eve as a single unit (Genesis 5). He even practiced His divine love on them by offering them the Garden of Eden to eat from, sow, and make fruitful. 

Even though Adam and Eve disobeyed God’s rules, that didn’t change His original love for families. Today, every family can rely on Him through prayers for blessings, safety, and guidance on different issues. 

You don’t have to be the head of the family to lead an intercessory prayer for your loved ones.

Anyone, including siblings, can make the above Prayer for the rest of the family, and God shall bless it. 

The book of Psalm 133:1 quotes, “How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity!

We can agree that most of us mainly focus on our personal needs, sometimes forgetting to pray for our families and relatives, which is not good.

Since God has granted you one of the most precious gifts in life, family, remember to pray for their blessings, protection, and unity constantly

Furthermore, you should strive to lead a righteous life to increase the possibility of receiving positive responses from your prayer.

You can do so by repenting your sins and avoiding further transgression while you act with love and respect for your family members

Do you believe that there’s power in prayer? Well, prayers can transform awful situations into living testimonies, especially if made with unshakable faith in God.

When praying for your family and friends, you should be confident in God’s promises to answer us whenever we call and rescue us in all situations. 

Even when you haven’t been in touch with your family and friends, or there has been an unfriendly connection between you, you can still pray for their safety, protection, and blessings. 

Prayers can also be the breaking point of a bad relationship between friends and family and the beginning of fruitful and long-lasting connections.

Edwin Harvey said that a day without prayer equals a day without blessings, while a life without prayers resembles a life with no power. 

Do not forget to pray for unity, the family unit’s main binder. 1 Corinthians 1:10 appeals to every believer in the name of Jesus to agree with one another in what they say and live without divisions and be united in thoughts and mind.

When we are not in the position to meet or spend time with our families due to various reasons, we can still pray for God to guide their plans and decisions.

The main challenge many might face is praying for their family’s guidance when everyone appears to have their choices on the right line. 

However, everyone requires God’s guidance, regardless of age, experience, or knowledge of the Bible.

You can also encourage them to seek God’s intervention in their dealings by praying with them or sending them prayer-like messages occasionally. 

If anyone lacks wisdom even on the pettiest matters of life, they should ask God, for He gives wholeheartedly to all without finding fault (James 1:5).
