Better Than Blended Devotionalનમૂનો

Praying Together

We have made it to the final step to becoming Better Than Blended! Although prayer is first in importance in building a godly family, we put it last so that the matter of prayer would be fresh in our minds as we finish this devotional. Prayer in a family does many things. It protects the family unity, reminds the enemy that he is defeated, teaches our children that every good and perfect gift comes from above (see James 1:17), and much more. It is also the ultimate means of drawing us close together as a family so that we will remain "encouraged and knit together by strong ties of love" (Colossians 2:2).

The key to a peaceful, joyous blended family is to love each other intentionally and, in so doing, to create a story that can be shared together for years to come. We do this by deliberately making time to be together in enjoyable and meaningful ways. As families invest in experiencing life together, they will grow together, love each other more deeply, and bond with each other.

All these are essential elements to being a family that will want to be around each other later. We don’t want our families to just exist and tolerate each other but to live with and love one another now as well as when they grow older! As we learn to pray together and for each other, we invite God into our family unit and our blended family experience. This is the way that we can become Better Than Blended.

As we wrap up this 8-day devotional, we pray that it has been used as a tool to bring you closer to your spouse, your family, and ultimately closer to God! We encourage you to explore more resources from Better Than Blended.
