Jesus-Centered Family Devotionsಮಾದರಿ
Read aloud:
“You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.”
(Matthew 5:14,16)
Say: I love seeing you shine the light of Jesus through what you say and do out in the world.
Ask family members to take turns sharing how they’ve seen each other shining Jesus’ light at school, at work, or in the neighborhood.
After encouraging one another, say: Let’s pray that when people see our light shining, they’ll know that it’s God who’s behind it. For the next minute, ask God to help others see him in you, and listen for whatever God wants to say to you.
After one minute of silence, ask if anyone thinks they heard anything. Perhaps God has a message for your whole family or someone in it.

About this Plan
No-Prep, Zero-Guilt, Perfect-Fit Family Devotions for You and Your Crew. Family devotions have gotten a bad rap…and often for good reason. They can be rigid, yawn-worthy interruptions in life rather than fun, affirming opportunities for Jesus to spend time with your family. But these devotions—they’re the good stuff, because they’re a bit unpredictable (as in not boring). Because your kids aren’t just observers—they’re participants. And because Jesus will show up to speak to you and your crew about your family, life, and himself. He’ll come because you’ll ask, and you’re making room for him. So enjoy your time with Jesus—and each other.
