Today’s guests are our 3 children! We talk about what our prayer life looks like as a family and we ask each other questions to reflect on:
- What is your favorite memory of your family praying?
- When are some significant times in your life when your family has come together to pray?
- How do we pray as a family?
- How do you teach your kids about having a personal relationship with God? How do you know where to look for God?
We also provide you with some tips to deepen prayer life with your family
- Find some sort of routine and create time and space for prayer
- Pray before meals together
- Thank God for the beauty of creation
- Use household chores as prayers for everyone in your home
- Involve the kids in helping the poor and vulnerable
- Share your struggles with your kids
- Transparency about what is happening in the world and praying for those suffering
- When praying for others’ intentions, keep them in mind, and follow up with them at a later time
- Table ministry with family and friends
- Share the fruits of prayer with your family
