Cover the members of your family in prayer each day.

Cover the members of your family in prayer each day.

When my grandmother and grandfather had kids, they began praying every day that they would all “get to heaven as an unbroken family”. Even after my grandfather passed away many years ago, my grandmother continued their life-long prayer tradition.

Years later, with a total of over 50 children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, my grandmother still prays that prayer for each of us by name every day. I believe it has had a profound impact on every member of my extended family, and I know her prayers are one of the reasons why I am a Christian today.

Pray for your family. It’s one of the best gifts you can give them.

James 5:16 says “…The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.”
