In our home, prayer is woven into the rhythm of our days. My husband prays for me every morning before he leaves for work. We pray for our kids every night at bedtime. We pray before our family meals.
Like most families, we want prayer to be more than a routine—we want it to be a vital part of our life together. We want our kids to grow up knowing that prayer is not an afterthought, but an essential way we connect with God.
But where do you start?
Prayer is not about using the right formula or memorizing the perfect words. It is about opening our hearts to God, aligning our will with His, and trusting His guidance in every circumstance. It is about inviting Him into the ordinary and the extraordinary moments of our lives.
Start small. Start simple. And start now. Pray when you wake up. Pray in the car. Pray when your children are joyful and when they are struggling. Pray before decisions, after victories, and in the middle of the unknown. Over time, prayer will become as natural as breathing—and your children will learn that it is the heartbeat of life with God.
