Struggling to be the spiritual leader my family needs

Guys I gotta be honest. I tell my kids to pray before meals and read their Bible but I'm skipping my own devotions most days. My wife called me out last week about how I expect them to live out their faith when I'm not doing it myself. She's right and it stings. How do you guys actually make daily prayer and Bible study a non-negotiable part of your routine? I want to lead by example but I'm failing and my kids are watching.

I'm right there with you buddy. Between work and everything else, it's easy to let that slip. But you're modeling something important for your kids whether you're doing it or not, so might as well make it real for them. We're all a work in progress.

Hey man, your wife's got your back on this one. The fact that you're even wrestling with it shows you care. Start small - maybe just five minutes in the morning with your coffee before the chaos starts. Your kids will notice the difference more than you think.
