5 Versions of Prayer for Family and Friends, along with Bible Verses

Friends and family are so very important – they are the ones we share a connection with, the people who make up our support systems.

They are the people we can talk to, the ones we share a mutual affection with.

It is an honor and a privilege that we can come before the Lord and say a prayer for each of our dear relatives and friends.

In Philippians chapter 2, we are told to humbly think of others as more important than ourselves. We are also told to look to the interests of others.

One way we can do this is by praying for all of our family members and friends – by taking the time to think about what their needs and desires are, then bringing those things to God through prayer.
