A Prayer for Families to Draw Near to Jesus - Your Daily Prayer - December 18

If your home feels more hectic than holy, this prayer helps you center your heart—and your family—on the One who brings peace that lasts.

What Is Prayer?

Prayer isn’t a ritual that depends on closing our eyes and putting on holy faces. We don’t have to kneel or sit. We can pray while walking, driving, or working. God responds to a two word cry for help in the middle of a busy afternoon, just like He does to a focused prayer time after reading Scripture in the morning. Praying doesn’t have to be complicated. God delights in any simple words we offer Him.
