Started a nightly prayer routine with the family and it's changing us

2d ago1 min read

A few months ago I felt convicted that we weren't being intentional about praying as a family. So we started gathering around the dinner table before bed and each person shares something they're thankful for and something they want prayer about. It's simple but man, it's opened up conversations I never expected. My 10yo shared something that was clearly weighing on him, and it gave me a chance to pray with him and support him. My wife and I have reconnected spiritually too. If you're not doing this, I really encourage you to start.

Right there with you. Started doing this a couple months back and my kids actually look forward to it now instead of seeing it as a chore. The changes in how they talk to each other have been noticeable.

Being intentional about faith with your kids changes everything. Good for you for making that shift. What time do you do it? We're thinking about starting something similar.

This is beautiful. We started something similar about six months ago and it's honestly the best thing we did for our family dynamic. Everyone shows up for it and it creates this space where we actually connect.
