A morning prayer for your family
Read in context: Lamentations 3:22–24
These words of hope arise within a book of grief. Remembering God’s mercy does not require your family to pretend that everything is easy.
God, thank you for this new morning. Meet each of us in what today holds. Help us speak with kindness, do our work with care and notice those who need support. Give us wisdom when plans change and humility when we make mistakes. Help us return to one another with honesty and love. Amen.
One practical step
Invite each person to name one thing ahead of them today. Keep the moment brief and allow anyone to pass.
