Family devotions have been a blessing this year

3w ago·1 min read

Started doing nightly devotions with the kids about 6 months ago, nothing fancy just 10 minutes of Scripture and prayer before bed. My oldest actually asked questions about his faith yesterday that made me realize he's really thinking about God. My wife and I have gotten closer too. If you haven't started this with your family I really encourage you to try it. It doesn't have to be perfect just consistent.

This is really great to hear. We've been doing devotions too but honestly some nights it feels forced when everyone's tired. How do you keep it engaging? What resources are you using?

Man, I needed to read this today. Been thinking about starting something like this with my kids but wasn't sure how to make it feel natural instead of preachy. 10 minutes sounds like a good length too.

Been doing something similar with my oldest. Its one of the few times everyone actually sits down together without phones. Really has changed our dynamic.

That's awesome. The consistency is what really matters. We've had ups and downs with it but when we stay committed the whole household feels different. Good on you for sticking with it.
