Family prayer and devotional time...

[Droobie]

Apart from saying 'grace' at the table before meals, does your family get together for a time of prayer or devotional. (Excluding church services/events)

[LuckyT]

No. We don't even say "grace" before meals. Most of the time we don't even eat together. But it's just my mom and me and I have a busy schedule. I think the only time we actually pray together and all that is at church. Now that you made that thread, it's kinda sad to see that about my mom and me. Oh well. It's ok. We still go to church together.

[BarbB]

My family is now spread out, but when we are together we pray together always!

[LuckyT]

that's awesome!

[Konnie]

Rarely

[ezzaspider]

we dont even say grace unless my friends are over who do say grace

[<><beckie><>]

my family have no time of prayer/devotion because i am the only christian in my family :cry:

[A Taffer]

I'm the lone christian in my family so this just never happens. :sigh:

[mesue]

I wish we could do it more, but I work an off shift. Everyone is sleeping while I'm awake.

[RyanJoseph]

we try to do it once a week although sometimes we can't because of time constraints.

[GirlForChrist]

My mom and her boyfriend live together and they're not religious. I've tried to get them into Christianity and fallow the Lords way. But they just call me a lier after I show proof. So I just have time to myself with God.

[sunshine]

we have never done family devotionals at my house, and my parents are Christian.

[mava]

My family says grace togather when we have dinner. We don't have a daily devotion but I feel that we should start. I do pray with my boys when I feel that they need to go to God with a problem be it personal, emtional, physical, or any other type of problem.:)

[lismiles21]

I hope someday my family will pray together. But for now, though they believe in God, they arent religious.

[Snowy]

Never :(

[Little Kitsune]

Unfortunatly, my family isn't Christian...

[Samueel]

We are a closely knit family that prays together OFTEN! I thank God for that (and them)!

[Eleana]

My family members are either free thinkers or buddhists...so we don't say grace together. How I wish miracle will happen one day and all of us put our trusts in the Lord.

[<><beckie><>]

i will be praying for all of the people here whose families aren't christians, i know that it can be tough
i have my own personal daily devotion but i would love to have one with my family

[faith177]

My husband and I pray with the kids every night but not with each other, I also wish we did more devotional prayer stuff together. I will also pray for the people of this thread that we will all start praying more together.:)

[Orthodox Andrew]

Never.:( I'm really the only Christian in my house that cares about my faith on a deep level.

[Dyfed]

My husband and I used to pray and hold hands every night,in the morning we would pray on our own,he died two weeks ago,I miss him so,Chris.

[Shekinahs]

My husband and I used to pray and hold hands every night,in the morning we would pray on our own,he died two weeks ago,I miss him so,Chris.Blessings,

Hugs to you (((((Dyfed)))). I am sorry for the death of your husband. May your husband rest in peace. I do hope you find much comfort from friends and family. I found this scripture for you in Song of Solomon. I hope it brings comfort. :)

Song of Solomon 6:2,3

My beloved has gone to his garden,
To the beds of spices,
To feed his flock in the gardens,
And to gather lilies.
I am my beloved's,
And my beloved is mine.
He feeds his flock among the lilies

[mistertee49]

My wife and I have devotional and prayer time each morning after we have breakfast.

[JC_FREAK]

I wish we did have a devotional time as a family. We don't as my parents have backslidden. Please pray for them

[RAF]

My wife, children and I pray together every night at bedtime.

[Lizzy16]

never...since my family is my mother and I, and my mother is Jewish...

[Glorianna]

It used to be a part of our morning routine. But we kinda lost that. Apart from saying grace together (we rarely eat together though), we don't pray as a family. But when I start my own family, we're going to have prayer and devotion times together every day.

[TheMainException]

My family doesn't connect well, and we hardly ever pray together. We hardly even say grace together.

[PaladinGirl]

I voted rarely. My family rarely prays together and that's including saying grace. The only time we ever say grace is on holidays like Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter. We also say grace some other times but it is extremely rare. Then the only other time we say grace would be on the rare occasion that we go to church together. However, I don't often go to church with my Mom. I live on my own and she is Pentecostal. I don't believe in Pentecostal doctrine so I tend to stay away from Pentecostal churches.

[Moros]

Never.

[kyansk]

Unfortunately, I wasn't where I am today when my family was still home. It saddens me that it took so long get here.

[SaintGeorge]

I do devotionals daily, but not with my whole family.

[faith by day]

I never pray with my blood family. But i am part of the family at church... and i rather pray with just ME AND GOD than not at all ;)

[The "J"]

Never anymore.

[God'sGrace]

My entire family are christians, yet the only time I ever pray with them is meal times. It is hard for me to get in the habit of spending time with God and praying because I seen to be the only one who trys to make it a priority.

[Qidron]

We used to homeschool and we had devotions daily. We worshipped, read the word, shared what the Lord was saying to each of us and prayed for ppl we knew. Now we don't do anything together. Hardly even eat together. I'm tired and they are not interested. In some strange fashion, this is going to work for good. Can't imagine how...but it will.

[Kathy]

Before I married and had my own family my Dad,Mom and sibblings always set time aside pretty much 4-5 days a week to pray together..Sad to say, not anymore,at least not all of us together.... Kathy

[AdJesumPerMariam]

We always say grace, and do pray together, when we can get everyone together. This is something we are working on to change to a daily thing.

[ChristianGirlNY]

my family prays about 3 times a week other than grace

[Bladecarver]

Not as often as we should...

[okiemommy26]

rarely but i would love to do it more

[Neal]

No, but we used to... I used not to like it, but now, being older, I think I would enjoy it.

[GodFlute2]

[handmaiden97]

We pray often together. it is a normal part of the day....so and so is sick, lets pray ofr him, so and so lost their car keys, lets pray God helps us find them....the little kids are begining to fight, lets pray for peace in our home

[gal4God]

Never

[meowmie]

I sorrowfully admit my husband and I do not pray or study together as much as we should. I use my health issues (Lupus, Grave's Disease, Hashimoto's Disease) as an excuse sometimes as the diseases are dibilitating and I am often tired beyond description.

But I know I could spend at least a few minutes in prayer each night with my husband. It is something I need to change in my life.

[AnimalMother]

never. there's no graces either.
