Family Day 9: Going deeper
Dive into the Word
"I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know Him better. I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which He has called you, the riches of His glorious inheritance in His holy people and His incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength He exerted when He raised Christ from the dead ..." -Ephesians 1:17-20a (NIV)
Family Moment
As disciples of Jesus, our goal is to get to know Him better and deeper every single day! What are ways we can spend time with Jesus? Brainstorm together. Today we're going to repond to the prayer: "May God give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know Him better" (v.17). After praying, encourage every family member to spend time asking God how He wants them to respond to the verse. You can use paper and coloring supplies, play a worship song or even just remain silent in Him. Share with one another how you spent your time.
Let's Pray!
- Do you know you have more general knowledge now than you did three years ago? That's a fancy way of saying that you know more stuff. Our knowledge of God should also grow more each day.
- While you pray today, ask God to reveal Himself to all the other kids who are participating in the 21 Days of Prayer & Fasting.
- Pray: "Father, help me to grow in Your wisdom each day. Amen."
