The Family Meeting - Many overlook the power and strength that comes from your own family. Even if your children are small and you think they don't understand their prayers can encourage in a way that is beyond explanation. We have always resorted to a family meeting and prayer to help us during difficult times.
There were times when the teenagers would roll their eyes when Dad called, "FAMILY MEETING." However over the years they have seen God answer prayer after prayer on our behalf. As a result, we have many prayer warriors in our family. Once I happened upon two of my boys, then 14 and 12, praying for their dad. Needless to say, the challenge I was facing seemed small and insignificant after beholding that sight.
I learned that every member of the family is important and brings something special that only they could add. If you are going through difficult times, keep your family together by meeting and communicating what you are going through. Ask them for their prayer request and finish with prayer.
Many families are destroyed by hardship and difficulties but our troubles have strengthened ours.
