Week 2 | Praying for Families in Your Neighborhood

Published February 25, 2026

Scripture:
Ephesians 3:14-15: “For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name.”

“Prayer is not a pious exercise. Prayer is the concrete expression of the trust that we have in God’s presence and care.” - Henri Nouwen

Let's Pray

Group Prayer primer | Think about the families that are in your neighborhood, name them, and pray for them. Situations both good and hard. Be open to God leading the time as you walk.

Family Prompt | Invite your kids to name a friend or neighbor family and pray for them by name. The more specific, the better. Feel free to prime them with names or events that might help. Also, feel free to go first, sharing the things that are on your heart as an example.
