A few years ago, I said something to one of my children about praying for them and my oldest son reacted with surprise. “You pray for us?”

And I realized my error right in that moment. You see – I pray for my children all the time. But they don’t know it. And for so many reasons I want my kids to know they are prayed for daily. The biggest reason? I want them to pray too.

How can you encourage your children to pray if they never see you praying, never hear you praying, and never know that you have prayed?

Because He has inclined His ear to me,
Therefore I shall call upon Him as long as I live. Psalm 116:2

So here’s the thing — right away I started letting my kids know that I was praying for them. Especially when I knew they were struggling with something. I started praying out loud for my children at night before bed. And I started asking them to pray less generic prayers at meal time, teaching them to be specific with their prayers. I want the legacy of prayer I leave for my children to be a rich and strong example of a faithful prayer life. And I also want to make sure they know how to pray for themselves.

This beautiful prayer board (not exactly like mine since mine is discontinued, but very similar!) is one perfect way to start encouraging prayer in your home. Hang the prayer board in a prominent place where it cannot be missed. Mine is the kitchen – which is the most trafficked room in our home. Invite your children to add prayer notes and pray for the ones posted.

Here are some other ideas to encourage your children to pray:

  • Take a prayer walk around your neighborhood. Pray for the occupants of each home as you walk.
  • Take turns praying at meal time, and encourage prayers that are unique and thoughtful – not recited. One of the ways I practice this is by making sure I take turns myself and pray thoughtfully about our day and lives myself.
  • Keep a prayer journal, and have your children keep a prayer journal.
  • Pray for your children by name out loud at least once a day. This can be at meals, at bed time, or at any time that works with your family’s ebb and flow.
  • Talk about prayer. Read books about prayer. Find out what the Bible has to say about prayer. Basically – just study prayer.
  • Try some of these fun activities to learn about prayer together.
  • Watch War Room together. Discuss the movie and the power of prayer.

I am very excited to begin a short series on encouraging prayer in your home. To get you started, I made these very simple prayer cards and prayer journaling pages with a pretty floral design. Use the prayer cards on a prayer board of your own or keep them on the refrigerator and keep the prayer journaling pages in a binder you use as a family. Let’s create an atmosphere of prayer in our homes!

Our Latest Shenanigans

See these pretty little plants playing peekaboo? I See these pretty little plants playing peekaboo? I thought they were goners. See, my sister gave us the bulbs for Asiatic Lillies for Christmas last year, down in a bag full of dirt and told us to take them home and plant them in the cold so they would rest and come back next year. Or freeze them. I did neither. I knew we weren’t in our own home yet, and we were hoping to move into our forever home this summer, so I threw them in the closet and waited. They stayed dormant, and started to develop roots in the Spring, still in the bag in my closet. Come June 5, we moved into our new house, and I pulled out the bag around June 15 to plant them and found that the roots were turning to mush. The bulbs were starting to rot. I planted them anyway, but to make matters worse, I accidentally planted them upside down because I thought the roots were actually sprouts. Oops. Then, I hired my boys and their friends to weed the bed where these are planted and forgot to tell them to leave these alone. The “sprouts” disappeared. I thought they were gone forever. Here it is the middle of August, and a week or so ago, I found these baby Asiatic Lillies coming up. I texted a pic to my sis to ask if this was what they look like. Sure enough after all that trauma, this gift survived. I won’t have blooms this year, but I’m told they will come back next year and survive to bloom. What a sweet blessing that will be, God willing. And a sweet reminder to persevere under trials and hardship. God is doing something bigger, something hidden, something better than we can ever imagine. Hang in there! #momlife #momfierce #momforthewin #firmlyplanted
Today I’ve been sorting through some heavy stuff Today I’ve been sorting through some heavy stuff, especially the unmasking of pedophilia and it’s prominence in the US and in our backyards. This horrifies and frightens me. I am so grateful to know that God will prevail. In the end, He wins. Everything seems so dark here in the US and it’s because of the spiritual forces of evil — but I know God will prevail. His love never fails. I’m putting my hope in this truth. #loveneverfails #godwins #godisgreater #momlife #momfierce

There are so many things I need to tell you about There are so many things I need to tell you about this picture. First #sheisloved campaign with @mercyhouseglobal and sheispriceless.org - check that out it’s important. Second - that cute bracelet came from @mercyhouseglobal about a month ago and *didn’t fit*. Today it’s loose enough to twist. I haven’t lost a lot of pounds according to the scale — I kinda stalled out three or four weeks ago at 17 pounds lost — but apparently I’m losing fat. That’s a victory. Third, my hands look like my moms and will some day look like my grandmas. I consider that a blessing.  Finally, it’s been a beautiful day😍 but I’m kinda sad it took me this long to find a red marker and share the love. If you have one handy, it’s not too late to jump on board with @wearethatfamily and be a world-changer! #worldchanger #momfierce #prayformoms #especiallyteenmomsinkenya #mymomrocks
