Check out the examples below from our “Verses for Your Family” pack.

Prayer for Your Family
Father, give my family the desire to seek You first, before everything else. Help us put You before our schedules, our jobs, our to-do lists, our worries, and our dreams.
Verse
“But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” Matthew 6:33
Prayer for Your Family
Holy Spirit, help us to be more intentional in living out mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, patience, forgiveness, love, and peace. Grow Your fruit in us so that when the world sees us, they see more of Jesus.
Verses
“So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience; bearing with one another and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you. Beyond all these things put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity.” Colossians 3:12–14
Prayer for Your Family
Father, thank You for guiding my family. Even when we fall or take a wrong turn, remind us You are still holding us close.
Verses
“The steps of a man are established by the Lord, and He delights in his way. When he falls, he will not be hurled headlong, because the Lord is the One who holds his hand.” Psalm 37:23–24
