The Lord has been blessing my family in leading me and my children and all who are living together with me to a new height in our Christian life and in our pursuit of Christ. Having been saved and baptised my daughter and son, now the Lord is gradually letting then grow in their Christian life. Their prayers became more and more subjective and mature in content. And even our family time spent improved by the day.
The Lord has now led us to spend time together in calling upon His name, pray-read the Bible verses on the daily portion of the morning revival, and then pray the specific burden the Lord gave us to pray. In this way, our family prayer time has improved a lot in content and in the participation of all the family members. In fact, it became more enjoyable as we all exercise our spirits together to pray.
For my children, I felt the need to lead them in their personal prayer life daily. On the one hand I have been reminding them to spend time in personal prayer everyday at least thirty minutes and on the other hand, I personally led them to pray by leading them out to the playground nearby and pray.
With my son, I exercised to go out after lunch and led him to pray personally for about twenty minutes as I also did the same. Then, we prayed together for about ten to fifteen minutes. In this way, he learned to pray personally and also corporately. It has now been our Father-Son prayers.
Praise the Lord for leading us practically to spend time with Him in prayer. The best way to help others pray is by showing them pattern and leading them to pray, and even pray with them.
May the Lord grace us to continue our prayer life all the days of our lives.
