Praying WITH my kids instead of just FOR them

Started having bedtime prayers where each of us says something we're thankful for and something we're worried about. It's been maybe two weeks. Last night my 6yo prayed for his friend who's moving away and asked God to help him not be lonely. My 10yo prayed about doing better on his test. The honesty and vulnerability got me man. This is what faith should look like.

Doing this with my teenagers too and honestly it's become my favorite part of the day. The things they're grateful for sometimes surprise me.

This hits different when you're doing it together instead of just hoping they're listening while you pray. Props for creating that moment with them.

This is such a beautiful idea. We do something similar but not as structured. Love that each of you gets a turn to share, makes everyone feel heard.
