Who am I write a prayer for peace? Who am I to lead anyone spiritually? Why would I think that something I wrote could help others? I honestly don’t know the answers to all of these questions, but I do know that these words help me get through each day. And maybe they can help you too.
Maybe a prayer for peace is exactly what you need in your home. Perhaps you need peace in your heart or in the way you see your home, your work or your family. All I know is that when I read this prayer each morning as I brush my teeth, I feel stronger. I need all the help I can get to get through every single day.
Parent’s Prayer for Peace
Heavenly Father, as I open my eyes to a new day, help me feel your presence. Please give me a fresh supply of strength, love, patience and kindness to be the best mom I can be.
Help me to speak Your peace, give Your grace, offer Your mercy and bring Your perfect order into this home. I acknowledge Your power over all that will be spoken, thought, decided and accomplished within these walls.
Lord, thank you for the gift of this vocation, the love of a family & a home which keeps us warm & together, no matter how humble it is. I commit to using this time and space responsibly in Your honor.
Anoint everything I do today.
Help me see You in every small task I attempt, every project I tackle, every caregiving act I take. Remind me that even the smallest accomplishment can bring You glory.
Father, when I am confused, guide me. When I am weary, energize me. When I am afraid, give me courage. When I am overwhelmed, infuse me with the light of the Holy Spirit. When I feel lost, help me find my way back to myself. When I feel alone, stand by my side and let me feel your presence. When I feel true joy, help me not be afraid but rather embrace it.
May the work I do each day and the way I do it bring faith, joy and a smile to all I encounter. May the people in my life see Your light shine through me. And Lord, when I leave this home for journeys near & far, give me traveling mercy. Bless each member of my family as they go to work or school and keep them wrapped in your love.
Lord, I thank you for this season, though I acknowledge it can be hard. I thank you for everything you have done, everything you are doing and everything I believe you will do in my life, family and home. I pray this with much love & thanksgiving.
Amen.
I hope this parent’s prayer for peace helps to heal you and improves your inner balance. Peace in the world is an admirable goal but peace in each of our hearts is achievable and can cast ripples far and wide.
