Dive into the Word
"Show me Your ways, Lord, teach me Your paths. Guide me in your truth and teach me for You are God my Savior, and my hope is in You all day long." -Psalm 25:4-5 (NIV)
Listening to Jesus can be difficult with all the distractions in our daily lives. Adults, choose a simple message (e.g., "We pray for God to protect you every single day"). Have one person listen and one parent read the message in a low voice while the rest of the family shouts contradictory messages, makes noises and creates as much distraction as possible. See how hard it is to hear that one voice in the chaos? Now whisper the message into their ear while everyone is quiet. That's how prayer can work! Life will be full of chaos and distractions, and it's so important we keep our eyes and ears open to Him every day.
