Thoughts for the Day


One of the most important commitments married couples can make is to set aside time each day for family prayer. Prayer is the very fabric that will hold your marriage and family in the loving hands of God.

Although prayer is not limited to certain places, having a special place for family prayer, a family altar, can leave a lasting impression on family members. Consider designating a certain room or piece of furniture as a place where the family assembles to pray at a specific time every day.

Consider This . . .

You can find many reasons not to make this commitment: over-booked schedules, television, fatigue and all kinds of distractions. But if you will make this commitment to prayer a priority, you will see a difference in your marriage and, if you have children, in all your family relationships. It is an expression of your total dependence of God. It is an expression of caring for each other. It opens the door to real communication. And, most importantly, it honors God.

Seriously consider agreeing as a couple to make family worship a part of your life. Structure your prayer time in a way that best fits your family's lifestyle. And then do it. You'll be glad you did.
