THE FAMILY THAT PRAYS TOGETHER

As the old saying goes, a family that prays together stays together. God blesses families who pray together, giving them increased peace, love, and harmony in the home. Family prayer is also a great way to help younger children develop the habit of praying on their own. Sometimes busy schedules can make it difficult to pray as a family. But it’s worth the effort.

It is important we cultivate the habit of praying together with our loved ones. It increases the spirit of unity and love! It also trains your family in hearing from God and knowing the person of the Holy Spirit.

God is mindful of you and your family, and He hopes you will approach Him in prayer as a family. Praying as a family brings you closer to God and closer to one another. When you kneel with your family to pray, you are doing more than speaking to God. You are demonstrating faith. You are serving God through your prayers. Praying as a family fortifies your love as you pray for each other. Your family prayers can bless your children for generations to come.

Prayer:

Lord Jesus, I commit my family to you! We will grow together and know you more in Jesus’ name.
