Prioritizing Spiritual Growth in Times of Chaos and Uncertainty

In times of chaos and uncertainty, it can be challenging to prioritize spiritual growth and development in our family. However, it is essential to remember that spiritual growth is not just a personal pursuit but also a family affair. As parents, we have a significant influence on our children's spiritual health, and it is crucial to create an environment that fosters their spiritual growth. One practical way to do this is by dedicating time to rebuilding our family's spiritual home.

Establishing a Spiritual Routine

Establishing a spiritual routine can help create a sense of stability and normalcy during chaotic times. This can include setting aside time for family Bible study, prayer, and worship. By incorporating spiritual disciplines into our daily routine, we can help our children develop a strong foundation in their faith. Family Bible study, in particular, is an excellent way to leave our children hungering for more. It provides an opportunity for us to share our faith with our kids, model spiritual disciplines, and create a sense of community.

Creating a Culture of Spiritual Growth

Creating a culture of spiritual growth in our family requires effort, energy, and self-denial. It means being intentional about our priorities and making spiritual growth a non-negotiable aspect of our family life. As parents, we must be willing to put in the work to create an environment that encourages our children's spiritual growth. This may involve setting aside time for individual spiritual disciplines, such as prayer and Bible study, as well as creating opportunities for our children to develop their own consistent spiritual practices. By doing so, we can help our children develop a real faith that goes beyond mere profession. Ultimately, our goal as parents should be to raise kids who possess a deep, abiding faith that will sustain them throughout their lives.
