pray more often and pray with my family more

It might feel corny at first, but regular prayer keeps you centered, models a great spirit of thanksgiving and humbleness of for your kids, and definitely gets you in the habit of seeing God’s handiwork in your life.

We are now praying as a family almost every night when we eat dinner. I think the pre-meal prayer is an easy way to start praying with your family and will lead into more spur-of-the-moment prayers as the need arises for them because a comfort level will have been established.

This morning, before I did anything else, I got on my knees and prayed for a few minutes. I haven’t done that by myself and on my knees in several years, and it felt good to get back to starting my day off that way. Tonight comes the hard part when I see if my wife will pray with me before we go to bed. Wish me luck and courage!

Since we have found a church home and started attending great program like Growing Kids, we have made prayer a very important part of our lives. We pray together multiple times per day, and I have started talking to God again on a regular basis. It makes life so much sweeter. I am so grateful.

Each night I pray with my two year old. Its very basic but I want him to know that is what you do and why you are doing it. My husband doesnt seem to “into” praying well not out loud. I really dont know his religious beliefs. I mean I know he is a christian and he believes in God and right and wrong but maybe praying more with me and our son will help all of us get closer to each other and to God.
