Every family desires a peaceful and happy home full of joy in the Lord and the presence of God. This is a great blessing that impacts not just every family member, but those who are connected with them as well. As you are here searching for a prayer to offer in the morning for peace and happiness at home, know that it is God’s will to bless every family through His peace and joy. The moment you wake up and choose to greet God with thankfulness for your life, you can pray for your home in this manner:
Heavenly Father, thank You for waking me up and giving me another chance to spend my life with my family. Thank You for filling our home with peace and joy in the Lord throughout the day. May each of my family members be surrounded by Your presence, the true source of happiness and peace, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
For a great start to your day at home, you can invite your family to pray together once you are all gathered and awake, or before you eat, if you haven’t done that yet. When a family prays together, God’s presence is among them and blesses them with His peace and joy.
If we observe one family who prays to God and another who never acknowledges God in their lives, we would find a big difference. Take a look at Noah’s family in the Bible, for example. Though they didn’t have much, nor were they considered wealthy in their days, because of their faith in God, they were saved from the flood that swept the whole earth clean because of their faith in God. None in Noah’s family argued with him about the Lord’s instructions, but simply believed the words of the Lord. Noah found favor in the Lord’s sight, and his family was spared from destruction (see Genesis 6:13–9:29).
If you still have family members who don’t know the Lord or don’t live according to God’s ways and principles, don’t give up hope. You are God’s light to your family. Keep praying for peace and happiness in Christ Jesus for your home and declare God’s promise of salvation: “And they said, Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house” (Acts 16:31).

As you pray with the Holy Spirit’s guidance, He will reveal more specific things that you must pray for regarding your family’s peace and happiness. Every family has different situations and issues to overcome.
