I have been encouraged lately to take some specific actions to make our home a place where our children can encounter God. Not just through each other but for themselves. Prayer is something we have always taught and practiced with our children but I have realized that really what I need and what they need is a dependence on prayer. We need to make space for prayer. We need a routine of prayer. We need to spend more time with the Lord in our ordinary moments.
As I looked around our house I noticed that we have a "space" for everything except prayer. A space to play, a learning space, a tv space and even a potty space. So, here is our prayer space.
We have curtains that can be closed for privacy, a candle that is always lit, a bible, paper, and a box full of things we are thankful for. We decoupaged a table with pages from a bible that had seen better days and a soft pillow. This place can be a space for quick prayers of patience and grace or a sacred place for those late night cries to Father.
Lord... be blessed in this space...come and meet us!
