One of God’s greatest blessings is the family, a holy institution that fosters love, development, and faith. Every family, however, has times of happiness, adversity, transformation, and recovery.

Lifting your family before the Lord brings His peace, strength, and presence into every area of your house, whether you’re praying for safety, unity, provision, or spiritual development.
