DAILY CHALLENGE

Pray FOR your kids. The greatest influence you can have in the life of your child is through prayer. Bring every concern, dream, and desire about your child to God. Two of the best times to pray with your child are on the way to school (assuming you drive him or her) and at bedtime.

Pray IN FRONT of your kids. Listening to your prayers is the primary way they will master the language of prayer.

Pray WITH your kids. It’s easy for prayer to become an exclusive dialogue—you and God. Be on the lookout for opportunities to become prayer partners with your children. All it takes is to kneel together and pray over their struggles and challenges.

DAILY CHALLENGE

Purchase a three-ring binder—the kind with a clear, plastic cover that allows you to insert a cover page.

Design a cover page with the title “Family Faithbook.”

On the cover, print Psalm 77:11-12, to remind you of the book’s purpose.

Fill the binder with notebook paper where you’ll be recording testimonies of God’s continuing work in your lives.

Once a year (or as often as your family chooses), read the book together. Praise God for His work in your lives.

DAILY CHALLENGE

Get your family into a car and put in the GPS your family’s favorite dessert place.

But instead of following your GPS, do everything you can to go the opposite direction.

After it seems like the kids can’t take it anymore, follow the directions and enjoy dessert as a family.

Discuss how God leads us with His GPS: through His Word, His Spirit, our conscience, and authorities in our lives. When we choose our way instead of God’s way, we risk missing out on the blessings He has for us.

Invite everyone to write or draw their worries (things that concern or scare them) on a piece of paper.

Gather all the papers and put them inside an envelope.

Seal it and address it to God.

Lift the envelope high into the air and in prayer entrust all your burdens to God.

When a child comes to you with a worry or concern, continue using the mail analogy. Keep sending those worries to God.

Pick one of your favorite puzzles (or check out a new one from your library) and do it together as a family.

Use it as an object lesson to talk about the many different people that you are connected with through work, school, church, sports, etc.

Spend a few minutes thanking God for the wonderful people He has brought into your life.

𝐃𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐘 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐄𝐍𝐆𝐄
Play a few rounds of Hide and Seek.

Tie this game to Luke 15:3-7. Explain that some people are hiding from God and are lost without Him. As a family, spend some time praying for the people in your life who have not yet been found. Ask God to open their hearts to receive the Good News of Jesus and for the opportunity to talk to them about your faith.

When was the last time your child prayed for a big, God-sized miracle?

Does the thought of it scare you a little bit?

What if God doesn’t come through and give them the miracle they were asking for?

It’s natural for us to want to protect children from disappointment, but we never need to protect them from God.

Since in prayer we talk to a big, limitless God, our children need to know that it’s OK to pray big, bold prayers.

We also need to teach them how to:

OVERCOME doubt with faith. Overcoming doubt with faith in God’s wisdom, power, and love is part of friendship with Christ.

SURRENDER their expectations. Focusing on the desired results of prayer rather than trusting God’s answer will ultimately lead to disappointment. Teach your child to expect an answer to every prayer but trust that the result and timing will be the best God wants for us.

𝐃𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐘 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐄𝐍𝐆𝐄
Grab a pen and paper and draw a map of your life, marking some of your big decisions like college, career, person to marry, and so on.

Tell stories and using your own life as an example, teach your children how to discern God’s will and make decisions. (Don’t worry if you didn’t get it right every time. Your kids can learn as much from your failures and mess-ups as from your successes.)
