Workday Prayer

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” -Philippians 4:6 (NIV)

Praying for friends, family and loved ones is another wonderful way to start each morning. It’s a selfless act that seeks to ask God for guidance and assistance for others. From parents praying for their children to individuals invoking God on behalf of friends facing a difficult time, morning prayers for loved ones offer up inspiration and eternal perspective.

Here’s an example of an inspiring prayer for loved ones:

Lord, it is so easy to focus only on my needs, but I ask that you would bless those around me (consider inserting specific names). Please help my (children, friends and family) to see, feel and experience your love. Please protect and heal my loved ones. I thank you for the wonderful people I have in my life and I ask you to guide their paths and to bring them closer to you.
