… a family splintered by feuding will fall apart.<\/em>\u00a0 Mark 3:25<\/p>\n

Today our prayers are for our families, immediate families, distant families, church families and friends and neighbor\u2019s families and any other families that come to mind.<\/p>\n

If we stop to think about it we may know many different people in many different families we can and should pray for.<\/p>\n

We can and should even pray for families of those we don\u2019t know, like family members of service men and women, family members of those who are ill or who have passed away, families in war torn countries, missionary families and many others that might come to mind as we pray.<\/p>\n

So, today, let\u2019s just focus on praying for our families, those close to us and those far away and any others that God brings into our minds to pray for.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s pray for unity, peace, protection, provision, wisdom and any specific needs.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.<\/em>\u00a0 Philippians 4:6<\/p>\n
