Think of the power for good as you gather your family together and thank
God for all of his blessings. Think of the eternal significance of
daily thanking him for each member of your family and asking him to
guide and bless and protect each one. Think of the strength that will
come to your family as, daily, one member or another pours out his or
her soul in love to God for other family members. . .
Family prayer is fully effective. . . only as we rise from our knees
and, with increased love and understanding, take better care of each
other.
I promise you that as you consistently and fervently pray as a family,
and as each member takes his or her turn and sincerely prays for others,
impressions will come as to what you individually should do to help
others. Thus, you can, in family prayer, receive personal and family
revelation as to how to love and serve one another.
