Praying with my kids before bed has become our favorite time

3w ago1 min read

Started doing this a few months ago just wanting to build the habit and now it's honestly the best part of my day. We sit on their bed and each kid says what they're thankful for and what they want to pray about. Last night my 7yo prayed for his friend's grandma who's sick and it just hit different hearing him care about other people like that. My oldest was resistant at first but now she brings it up if I forget. Feels like we're actually connecting about stuff that matters instead of just going through the motions.

Bedtime prayers are such a solid way to connect. It's one of those things that costs nothing but means everything to them and to you.

That's really special, man. Those quiet moments at the end of the day stick with kids forever. Sounds like you've got something really good going there.
