Japanese “Lord, bless everyone in this house. Keep us safe, keep us kind to one another, and keep us close to you, today and always. Amen.” It suits breakfast, bedtime or a moment alone. Families also pray for peace after a quarrel, for unity when divided and for each other’s safety, and churches pray for families in their intercessions.
If someone in your family is violent, or you are afraid at home, get safe as well as praying. In the US, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline, 1-800-799-7233. In England, call Refuge’s National Domestic Abuse Helpline, 0808 2000 247; in Scotland, 0800 027 1234; in Wales, Live Fear Free, 0808 80 10 800; in Northern Ireland, 0808 802 1414.

Short prayers for the family
A morning blessing
Father, we are about to go our separate ways: to school, to work, to the shops. Go with each of us. Keep us from harm, help us do today’s work well, and bring us home safely tonight. Amen.
For protection
Lord, I cannot watch over every one of my family at once, and you can. Guard them on the roads, at work and in the places I will never see. “Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it” (Psalm 127:1). Build and keep this house. Amen.
For health
God, thank you for every day this family is well. Keep us healthy, and when one of us falls ill, give the rest of us patience to care for them. Amen.
Thanks for my family
Thank you, Lord, for the people you gave me: for my parents, my children, my brothers and sisters, and everyone who has become family along the way. Forgive me for the times I take them for granted. Amen.
For family and friends far away
Lord, some of the people I love are a long way from here. Watch over them where I cannot, keep them in your care, and let us see each other again soon. Amen.
When money is tight
Father, you know what this family needs this month better than we do. Provide it, and keep the worry about money from turning us against each other. Amen.
For wisdom as parents
Lord, give us wisdom with our children: when to hold on and when to let go, when to speak and when to listen. Let them see in this house a faith worth keeping. “As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD” (Joshua 24:15). Amen.
Prayers for peace and unity in the family
After a quarrel
God, we said hard things to each other today. Calm us down before we say more. Show me what I got wrong and give me the humility to say sorry first. Your word says, “A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger” (Proverbs 15:1). Amen.
When the family is divided
Lord, this family has split into sides, and some of us no longer speak. You know every hurt on every side. Soften hard hearts, starting with mine, and open one door we can walk through toward each other. “If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men” (Romans 12:18). Amen.
For healing of old wounds
Father, some of what divides us is older than any of us: habits of anger, silence and blame handed down from our parents and grandparents. Let it stop with us. Heal what was done to us, forgive what we have done, and teach our children a different way. Amen.
For a decision the family must make
Lord, we cannot agree about what to do. Help us listen to each other properly, put the good of the whole family ahead of winning, and see the choice you would have us make. Amen.
Forgiveness and reconciliation are not the same thing, and a family can need one before the other; see the difference between reconciliation and forgiveness.
Traditional family prayers
The Episcopal Church’s 1928 Book of Common Prayer includes “Forms of Prayer to be used in Families,” for a household to say together in the morning and before bed. These lines can be said on their own.
For protection through the day, from the morning prayer:
Direct us in all our ways. Defend us from all dangers and adversities; and be graciously pleased to take us, and all who are dear to us, under thy fatherly care and protection.
The Book of Common Prayer (1928), Family Prayer, Morning Prayer, p. 589
For peace before bed, from the evening prayer, which draws on Ephesians 4:26, “let not the sun go down upon your wrath”:
Purge our hearts from envy, hatred, and malice; that we may never suffer the sun to go down upon our wrath; but may always go to our rest in peace, charity, and good-will, with a conscience void of offence towards thee, and towards men.
The Book of Common Prayer (1928), Family Prayer, Evening Prayer, “Prayer for Grace to reform and grow Better,” p. 590
For those we love, wherever they are:
Almighty God, we entrust all who are dear to us to thy never-failing care and love, for this life and the life to come; knowing that thou art doing for them better things than we can desire or pray for; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
The Book of Common Prayer (1928), Family Prayer, “For Those We Love,” p. 597
The shorter evening form ends with a family blessing, the priestly blessing of Numbers 6:24–26 turned into a prayer for the household:
The Lord bless us and keep us. The Lord make his face to shine upon us, and be gracious unto us. The Lord lift up his countenance upon us, and give us peace, this night and evermore. Amen.
The Book of Common Prayer (1928), Family Prayer, A Shorter Form, Evening, p. 593
A Catholic prayer for a Christian family
Father F. X. Lasance’s Catholic Girl’s Guide (1906) prints this “Prayer for a Christian Family,” indulgenced by Pope Leo XIII in 1889. The full prayer goes on to ask the prayers of Mary, Saint Joseph, the archangels and the guardian angels; its opening reads:
God of goodness and mercy, we commend to Thy all-powerful protection our home, our family, and all that we possess. Bless us all as Thou didst bless the holy family of Nazareth.
O Jesus, our most holy Redeemer, by the love with which Thou didst become man in order to save us, by the mercy through which Thou didst die for us upon the cross, we entreat Thee to bless our home, our family, our household. Preserve us from all evil and from the snares of men; … Bless us, that we may always openly confess our faith which is to sanctify us, that we may never falter in our hope, even amid pain and affliction, that we may ever grow in love for Thee and in charity toward our neighbor.
O Jesus, bless us, protect us.
Lasance, The Catholic Girl’s Guide (1906), Indulgenced Prayer for a Christian Family, pp. 612–613
The same prayer asks Saint Joseph, “head of the holy family,” to “intercede for us, bless and protect our home always.” Asking Mary and Joseph to pray is Catholic and Orthodox practice; most Protestants would say only the lines addressed to God.
Prayer intentions for families
At Catholic Mass the Prayer of the Faithful, also called the Universal Prayer, is a set of short intentions for the Church, the world, people in need and the local community. After each one the people answer with a short response said together, or pray in silence, and the Church’s rules for Mass ask that intentions be “sober” and “succinct” (General Instruction of the Roman Missal, 70–71). These can be used at Mass, in a prayer group or at home:
- For every family in our parish, that God will keep them in love and peace. Let us pray to the Lord.
- For families divided by quarrels or silence, that they may find a way back to each other. Let us pray to the Lord.
- For parents, that God will give them wisdom and patience in raising their children. Let us pray to the Lord.
- For families facing illness, unemployment or grief, that they may not face it alone. Let us pray to the Lord.
- For our own families, living and departed, and for those who have no family. Let us pray to the Lord.
Family unity in the Bible
Psalm 133 opens, “Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!” (Psalm 133:1). Scripture is just as plain about families that fell apart. Joseph’s brothers sold him into slavery, and years later, when they came to Egypt for grain, he forgave them: “I am Joseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt. Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves” (Genesis 45:4–5). After their father died he told them, “ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good,” and he “comforted them, and spake kindly unto them” (Genesis 50:20–21).
The apostles’ letters give the everyday rules for keeping the peace: “Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you” (Ephesians 4:31–32). Colossians adds, “above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness” (Colossians 3:14).
Prayer to Nurture a Spirit of Understanding Among Family Members.
Understanding is the bridge that connects the islands of our souls in the vast ocean of life. A family, knit together by love, often finds that it’s the spirit of understanding that allows them to navigate the turbulent waters of life’s challenges. In recognizing the significance of fostering this spirit within the family, we turn to prayer as a powerful tool to nurture understanding, compassion, and unity among its members.
Heavenly Father,
In the quiet of this moment, we lift our hearts to You, seeking Your grace to nurture a spirit of understanding within our family. Help us to listen with open hearts, to speak with kindness, and to see through the eyes of one another. Just as the river carves pathways through the hardest rocks, may Your love soften our hearts and guide us towards a deeper comprehension of each other’s needs, fears, and dreams.
Lord, weave patience into the fabric of our interactions, allowing us to embrace our differences and celebrate our shared values. Grant us wisdom to navigate misunderstandings and the strength to forgive, remembering that in unity, we reflect Your divine love. Inspire us to support one another, to grow together, and to build a legacy of love that echoes through generations.
In moments of discord, remind us that it is in seeking to understand, rather than to be understood, that we discover the true meaning of family. Bless us with a unity that transcends mere agreement, a unity born of love and respect.
In Jesus’ Name, we pray,
Amen.
The journey towards understanding among family members is akin to tending a garden; it requires patience, nurturing, and the light of God’s love to flourish. Through prayer, we invite His presence into our relationships, empowering us to cultivate a spirit of understanding. This prayer serves as a testament to our commitment to foster not just love, but a deep and empathetic understanding within our family. It is in this sacred space of comprehension and acceptance that true unity is found.
Prayer to Encourage Support and Respect in the Family.
Families are often compared to the different parts of a body, each unique but essential to the whole. When every member supports and respects one another, the family can function harmoniously, much like a well-coordinated symphony. However, achieving this level of unity requires a conscious effort from everyone involved. It’s within this spirit that we approach our prayer today, seeking divine intervention to cultivate an atmosphere of support and respect in our families.
Heavenly Father,
We come before You today united in prayer for our families. In Your wisdom, You have designed us to live together, to support, and to uphold one another. We ask You, Lord, to infuse our family with Your love and grace, enabling us to offer unwavering support and respect to each other.
Let each of us be like a sturdy pillar, offering strength and shelter in times of storm. May our words always build up, never tear down. Illuminate our hearts, so we may appreciate the unique gifts and perspectives each family member brings to our collective table.
Guide us to act in kindness and humility, always ready to put the needs of others before our own, reflecting Your sacrificial love for us. Help us to foster an environment where each voice is heard, valued, and respected, creating a landscape of unity and peace in our home.
In Jesus’ Name, we pray,
Amen.
By praying for support and respect within the family, we are asking for God’s guidance to help us embody these virtues. It’s like planting seeds in a garden; with care and nurturing, they will grow into strong plants that support each other against the winds. Let this prayer be a reminder that through God’s love and our earnest efforts, we can create a family environment where everyone feels supported and their contributions respected.
Prayer for Patience and Kindness in Family Interactions.
Families are the bedrock of society, the first school of patience, kindness, and love. However, amidst the hustle of daily life, the core values that bind us can sometimes get lost. Patience and kindness are more than virtues; they are the glue that holds families together, enabling members to grow individually and as a unit. They are like water to a seed, essential for the growth of love and unity within the family.
Heavenly Father,
In Your infinite wisdom, You have placed us in families to learn, grow, and love. Today, I come before You, seeking Your blessing of patience and kindness upon my family. In every interaction, may Your spirit guide us, teaching us to respond with gentleness and to listen with open hearts. Just as the river carves through rock not by force, but by persistence, let patience and kindness be the forces that mold our family closer together.
Grant us the grace to overlook small grievances, the strength to offer forgiveness freely, and the humility to ask for it in return. In moments of frustration, remind us of Your patient love for us, and inspire that same patience in our dealings with one another. May our home be a sanctuary where kindness reigns, where words are chosen with care, and actions speak of love.
Lord, in Your mercy, weave patience and kindness into the fabric of our interactions, that our family may reflect Your love to the world.
Amen.
Patience and kindness are akin to sunlight and water for the garden of our family’s soul. They nourish and sustain, allowing for growth and blooming in ways we can only imagine. As we strive to infuse our daily interactions with these virtues, we build a legacy of love and unity that can weather any storm. Through prayer and practice, let us commit to being architects of patience and kindness within our families, transforming our homes into havens of peace and love.
Prayer for Peaceful Resolutions to Family Conflicts.
Family is a beautiful landscape woven with threads of different strengths, colors, and textures. However, like any intricate artwork, the threads may sometimes tangle, leading to conflict. It’s during these times that seeking divine intervention through prayer can act as a gentle hand guiding those threads back into harmony. The prayer for peaceful resolutions to family conflicts is more than words; it’s an invocation for God’s presence in the midst of trouble, asking for His wisdom and peace to permeate our homes.
Heavenly Father,
In Your wisdom, You have brought us together as a family. Today, we stand before You, hearts entwined by blood and love, yet sometimes divided by misunderstandings and hurt. We humbly ask for Your gentle touch in our lives, to soothe the frayed edges of our relationships and mend the tears that conflicts have caused.
Grant us the grace to see each other through Your eyes—imperfectly perfect, flawed yet incredibly loved. Instill in us a spirit of forgiveness, patience, and understanding, mirroring Your unconditional love for us. May our conversations be seasoned with kindness and our actions reflect the peace that only You can provide.
Teach us to navigate disagreements with wisdom, to listen before speaking, and to choose our battles wisely, knowing that not every disagreement warrants war. Like the calm after a storm, let Your peace reign in our hearts, transforming our home into a sanctuary where love conquers strife.
Amen.
The power of prayer in seeking peaceful resolutions to family conflicts lies not in the words we say but in the openness of our hearts to receive God’s guidance and the willingness to act upon it. By inviting God into our struggles, we welcome a love so powerful that it can dissolve even the most steadfast barriers, knitting our family closer in unity and peace. In doing so, we honor not only each other but the very essence of what it means to be a family under God’s loving gaze. When we collectively engage in powerful prayers for God’s love, we create an atmosphere of understanding and compassion that transcends misunderstandings and hurt feelings. These moments of shared devotion can illuminate the path towards reconciliation, reminding us that our bonds are sacred and worth nurturing. Through this spiritual practice, we cultivate patience and empathy, fostering an environment where every family member feels cherished and respected.
Prayer for Unwavering Unity in the Family.
Unity in a family is like the threads that hold a beautiful landscape together. Each thread plays a crucial role, and without one, the picture is incomplete. Families, in their essence, are diverse in thought, action, and belief, yet the goal remains the same: to live in harmony, supporting each other through life’s journey. The prayer for unwavering unity seeks not only to bind these threads tighter but to make them stronger against the wear and tear of daily challenges.
A Prayer for Unwavering Unity in the Family:
Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, united in prayer, seeking Your divine guidance and strength to foster an unwavering unity within our family. Like the branches of a tree, may we grow in all directions, yet remain rooted in Your love, supporting one another in times of storm and drought.
Lord, dissolve any barriers of misunderstanding that lie between us and replace them with bridges of compassion. Teach us to communicate with patience, to listen with open hearts, and to forgive with grace, following the example of Your Son, Jesus Christ. Let our home be a testament to Your endless grace, where peace prevails and conflicts find resolution in Your wisdom. Bless our family with the gift of unity that reflects Your trinity—distinct yet inseparable in essence.

This prayer serves as a reminder that in every effort to unify, it is the invisible strength of faith, hope, and love that holds us together, making the journey toward unity not just possible but a source of joy and fulfillment for every member involved.
Prayer for Protection of the Family Against Harm and Danger.
In a world teeming with uncertainties and unforeseen challenges, safeguarding our loved ones becomes paramount. The idea of enveloping our family in a protective embrace through prayer is not only comforting but empowers us to face adversities with a fortified spirit.

Through prayer, we invoke divine surveillance, ensuring that even in tumultuous times, we are under the custodianship of a watchful protector.

The fabric of family is woven with threads of love, each strand representing a unique bond that holds us together.

Let us then, with hearts united, turn to prayer, trusting in God’s unfailing love and boundless generosity to meet every need.
Heavenly Father,
In Your wisdom, You have woven together this landscape called family, each thread a life, each color a unique need. Today, we stand before You, hands and hearts open, asking for Your divine provision for our family’s needs. Like the birds of the air, we do not sow or reap, yet You feed them. How much more do You care for us, Your children?
Lord, let Your abundance flow into our home, filling it with Your presence and provision. Give us our daily bread—enough to satisfy, enough to share. Bless the work of our hands, that we may not only receive but be a source of blessing to others.

God of all comfort, calm our anxious hearts. Help us to seek first Your kingdom, trusting that all these things will be added unto us according to Your riches in glory. May our family’s needs become a testament to Your love, a beacon of hope for others to see.Amen.

Making decisions as a family can often feel like navigating through a thick fog, where each step seems uncertain, and the path ahead is obscured.

In the landscape of our family life, we stand at a crossroads, seeking the light of Your wisdom to guide our steps.
