Forward in Faith: A Family Guide for Growing TogetherSample

Praying Together
Key Scripture
Never stop praying. –1 Thessalonians 5:17 (NLT)
Meditation
Prayer is the lifeline of every family. Through it, we invite God's presence into our circumstances.
Prayer changes things. It isn’t about perfection—it’s about connection with our heavenly Father. Praying as a family, even in small ways, builds trust and unity. Those rhythms create sacred space, whether it’s a whispered prayer before school or a moment of thanks at dinner. Don’t underestimate the power of consistent, heartfelt prayer—especially when it's shared.
Reflection
- How are you modeling a healthy and active prayer life?
- What’s one simple way you can add more prayer to your family’s routine?
Prayer
God, thank You for hearing us when we pray. Help us to be faithful in praising You and lifting up our needs—and the needs of others—to You. Make our home a place of prayer, peace, and purpose. Amen.
