Started morning prayers with my 7yr old and it's changing everything

Aug 1·1 min read

So I've been waking up 15 minutes early to pray with my son before school. Nothing fancy, just thanking God and asking for help with the day. Yesterday he told his mom that praying with dad makes him feel brave. That hit me different. I think our kids are watching way more than we realize. If we want them to love Jesus, they gotta see us loving Jesus first. Anyone else doing this?

That's beautiful man. 15 minutes to start the day together before the chaos hits is huge. I bet your son is going to remember that.

This is the kind of stuff that matters. With three kids going in different directions, I've learned that the intentional moments are what stick with them. Sounds like you're building something really special with your boy.

That's beautiful man. I started doing something similar with my oldest and it's crazy how those quiet moments before the chaos starts really set the tone for the whole day. Keep it up, your son will remember this forever.

Love this. Even those 15 minutes are gold when you're doing it together. My 7 year old and I have been doing something similar and I've noticed he asks better questions about life now, it's wild.

This is the kind of thing that sticks with kids. My dad did something similar when I was young and I still think about it. You're building something real.

That's awesome. Morning prayers with my kids has changed how I show up for the whole day too. It's not fancy but it's intentional and that matters.
