Pray In The Spirit

And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people. Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel,

Ephesians 6:18-19

The Bible tells us Paul urges us to pray “on all occasions with all kinds of prayers.” Demonstrating our daily dependence on God is essential in a family since many children first learn to trust God as they observe genuine faith in the people closest to them. There is no better way to teach the utmost importance of prayer than by praying for and with our children. It is one of the ways they begin to sense a compelling need to reach out personally to God in faith.

When we “start children off” by modeling a “sincere faith” in God, we give them a special gift, an assurance that God is an ever-present part of our lives – continually loving, guiding, and protecting us.

Daily prayers lessen daily worries.
