<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nAs a part of the formula, reflection is very important. Start your prayer times by spending time individually reflecting. Do this in an open forum, where everyone speaks in turn. You all listen without passing judgement or holding anyone’s words against them. Build an atmosphere of love and trust. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Gratitude<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nTake turns to vocally reflect on what you are grateful for. This should also include thanking one another for the things that you may usually take for granted. We have a tendency to expect more from the people who give us the most. This means we become less and less grateful for what they do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Apologies<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThere are often elephants in the room within our families. We often cause one another offence in families. This should not be left up in the air. Apologise to those in the family that you may have wronged. At times you have not done wrong, but have offended someone nonetheless. Get right with each other before coming before God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>Family Goals<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nWhat are your family goals for the day?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What are your family goals for the week?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Personal Goals<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nTake turns to say what your personal goals for the day are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Support and pray for each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Value of Family Prayer The value of family prayer is one that cannot be overstated or overemphasised. You will often hear it said that \u201cA family that prays together stays together.\u201d This is a quote that takes several other mutations for couples and other groups of people.
