Did you know that a wife is actually edified and strengthened by a husband who prays for and with her? And children learn by example; being led in prayer is powerful.
We live in the age of technology. Kids eat dinner on the couch while scrolling their instagram feeds and personal communication is lacking. Human interaction is seldom present in most families today and parents struggle to take charge. Turn off the television and put away the phones long enough to eat dinner together, pray together and have a family conversation.
Deut 11:18-23, “You shall therefore lay up these words of mine in your heart and in your soul, and you shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. You shall teach them to your children, talking of them when you are sitting in your house, and when you are walking by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates, that your days and the days of your children may be multiplied in the land that the Lord swore to your fathers to give them, as long as the heavens are above the earth. For if you will be careful to do all this commandment that I command you to do, loving the Lord your God, walking in all his ways, and holding fast to him, then the Lord will drive out all these nations before you, and you will dispossess nations greater and mightier than you."
You can be a great influence in your children's lives, but you must take charge in your position of authority. Do not allow your children to dictate your schedule and your decisions for how they should be raised. Take charge. Put your family back together, it's not too late. If your marriage is failing - try praying together. The bond will be perfect when you build a circle of prayer.
