Family Worship 101: Day 3

Pray

In today's video, Don Whitney shares advice related to leading your family in a short time of prayer, integrating both personal requests and petitions stemming from God's Word.

From the video:

Today, we’re going to look at prayer, the second most important element of family worship. Whether prayer is offered by just one family member or if everyone takes turns, the important thing is that you pray together. Some people keep a prayer list. Some simply ask for prayer requests from the family. Whatever your approach, pray about at least one thing suggested to you and your family by the Scripture passage you have read.

Next Steps

  1. Repeat everything you did yesterday, but this time with Romans chapter 8. As a reminder, be sure to read the passage aloud, explain any words that the children may not understand, and then briefly discuss what you all learned.
  2. Go around the room, asking each family member to share any prayer requests he/she may have.
  3. Quickly scan Romans 8, looking from something that prompts you to pray.

God deserves to be worshiped daily in your home by your family.
