Creating Saints

Ep 3 - Praying with Family


Listen Later

Today’s guests are our 3 children! We talk about what our prayer life looks like as a family and we ask each other questions to reflect on:

  • What is your favorite memory of your family praying?
  • When are some significant times in your life when your family has come together to pray?
  • How do we pray as a family?
  • How do you teach your kids about having a personal relationship with God? How do you know where to look for God?

We also provide you with some tips to deepen prayer life with your family

  • Find some sort of routine and create time and space for prayer
  • Pray before meals together
  • Thank God for the beauty of creation 
  • Use household chores as prayers for everyone in your home
  • Involve the kids in helping the poor and vulnerable
  • Share your struggles with your kids 
  • Transparency about what is happening in the world and praying for those suffering
  • When praying for others’ intentions, keep them in mind, and follow up with them at a later time
  • Table ministry with family and friends
  • Share the fruits of prayer with your family
