A Family of PrayerSample

Prayer is Faith in God

Every night, your family goes to bed trusting that the sun will rise again. Though you can’t see it, you rest assured that it will light up the sky in the morning. This confidence isn’t based on what you can control but on trust in something greater. Faith in God works in the same way—it’s about believing in His promises, even when you don’t know how things will unfold. Like waiting for the sunrise, faith is the assurance that God will bring light to our family’s circumstances in His perfect time.

Prayer is an act of faith that unites your family, like watching for that morning sun together. When you pray as a family, you don’t always receive immediate answers, nor do you see how God will work things out. Yet, you should lift your requests, believing He hears you and that His timing is perfect. Exercising faith through family prayer means choosing to trust God’s plans, even when you can’t see them, and remembering that He is as faithful as each new day.

Faith can feel challenging, especially when you’re waiting in the dark, wondering if anything will change. But even a small faith—a mustard seed—can be powerful in God’s hands. When you pray together as a family, you align your hearts with His promises, letting His presence guide you. Just as the sun rises each day, God’s faithfulness never fails. So, as a family, pray with expectation, knowing that God is with you, constant and true.

Family Prayer: Lord, we come to You with faith that You are listening to the prayers of our family. We come to You with confidence that You can do all things above all that we may ask, think, or imagine. You are a great and wonderful God, mighty and powerful beyond what we can comprehend. Lord, grow our faith and do great things in this family for Your glory. Amen.
