Start the Day by Covering Your Family in Prayer
Mornings set the tone for the day.
And nothing is more powerful than starting that day by speaking life over your family.
Whether your loved ones are near or far—at home, work, or school—your prayers can go where your hands cannot.
You may not be able to fix everything they face.
But you can command heaven’s protection, peace, and blessing over them from the moment the sun rises.
Lamentations 3:22-23 (NLT) says, “The faithful love of the Lord never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning.”
Every day brings new mercies.
So every morning, we pray fresh prayers.
Let’s start today by lifting up your family in faith.
