Struggling to lead daily devotions when I'm exhausted
I want to be the spiritual leader of my household like I'm supposed to be but I'm working 10 hour days and by the time we get through dinner and homework I am WIPED. My wife suggested we just do bedtime prayers instead of a full family devotion. Part of me feels like that's settling but another part knows that a tired grumpy dad forcing a devotion isn't actually leading anyone spiritually. How do other guys balance this? Should I wake up earlier or am I overthinking a situation where something is better than nothing?
Have you tried doing devotions together as a family in the morning instead? My kids are more engaged at breakfast anyway, and it's one less thing hanging over my head at the end of the day when I'm already wiped.
