I’m so thankful that you decided to join me for this 31 Day series of Praying the Scriptures for Your Family! What a blessing YOUR FAMILY will receive through your prayers! The peace we gain through prayer {Philippians 4:6-7} is blessing enough, but in praying the very Words of God over your family, the blessings gained are more than we will ever know about on this side of heaven!

As you start this journey of praying the Scriptures, I hope you will take a few minutes (less than 10) to listen to this audio encouragement where I share 5 Ways to Pray the Scriptures.

Today’s Scripture To Pray For Your Family

1 Samuel 1:27-28: “For this child I prayed, and the Lord has granted me my petition which I asked of Him. Therefore I also have lent him to the Lord; as long as he lives he shall be lent to the Lord.’ So they worshiped the Lord there.” 

Prayer: Lord God, You have blessed me with each of these children. They are gifts from You, yet I gift them to You in return. They are yours. Just like Hannah gave Samuel over to you, I give my children back to You. I want You to use them for Your glory. Take their hearts and mold them into the beautiful people you created them to be. May they be surrendered to Your love, Jesus. May they know your love and your presence in a tangible way. Like Hannah, we pray for our children, then and now. God grant us, by your grace, as mothers, to release our children to You. You are the perfect, loving Father and there is no one more trustworthy than You.  We trust You with our families.
