God,
As 2026 starts, I place my family into your hands – not with fear, but with trust. You know every person I love, every worry I carry for them, every silent prayer I’ve whispered when I didn’t know what else to do. Thank you for sustaining us this far.
In 2026, l ask for health that is steady and protected – in body, in mind, and in spirit. Where there has been strain, bring restoration.
Where there has been exhaustion, bring renewal. Guard our days, our routines, and the quiet moments we often overlook.
I pray for happiness that is rooted, not fragile. Joy that shows up in ordinary mornings and shared laughter. Peace that settles our hearts even when life feels uncertain. Help us treat one another with patience, kindness, and grace, especially when things feel heavy.
Cover our home with your presence. Guide our steps with wisdom.
Keep us close to what truly matters. And as this year unfolds, remind us that we are never walking alone – not as individuals, and not as a family.
I place what’s ahead in your hands, God.
Amen.
