Family Prayer

James 5:16  The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective. (NIV)

Prayer has great benefits at home. Couples that pray together are more effective in dealing with life’s challenges. Not only does it invite God into your home, but a consistent family prayer effort strengthens family bonds, reinforces family values and builds unity.

Prayer builds family relationships. When couples routinely pray for each other, fewer relational stalemates occur, and there is more cooperation in resolving issues and building a stronger relationship.

Children are greatly benefited by family prayer. It introduces them to God and His reality and interest in their daily life. Children enjoy a predictable prayer time.

Ideas for a family prayer time: first, establish a regular time each day; involve as many family members as possible; and create a prayer list expecting God to answer.
