Daily Devotional: Modeling Christian Faith To Our Sons and Daughters

In the busyness of everyday life, it’s easy to get caught up in the routine of parenting without realizing the crucial impact our actions have on our children’s spiritual development.

James 1:22 reminds us, “But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.” This principle rings true in the way we model faith for our children.

Just last night, as I sat with my sons in their room and asked them what they needed prayer for, I witnessed a beautiful moment of genuine care and concern.

After praying for their needs, my oldest son turned to me and asked, “Dad, what do you need prayer for?” It was a heartwarming reminder that our children are watching and learning from our example. When we consistently model prayer and seek God’s guidance in our lives, we pave the way for our children to follow suit.
