1. Set the Spiritual first
Schedule in when you will be having devotions and prayers. Do it after a meal/before bed/first thing in the morning. Then schedule everything else around it.
2. Prepare the family altar
Make this a fun and special time. Young kids might enjoy grab/pulling up the devotion, choosing a hymn to sing after. Set up for Sunday worship with candles and musician who will play the hymns online. Older kids can read the devotion and say a prayer.
3. Stick to the plan
Repetition establishes good routines. You and your kids are practicing holding on to Christ when it feels like you are on a cliff face. Lesson- Christ is relevant and important all the time.
The confidence that brings will allow us to scale some monumental cliffs in our life so…
Hebrews 10:23 [We may] hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.
