7 Reasons a Father Should Pray Daily with His Family

Church and Family Life Podcast

One of the pivotal duties of a father is to lead his family daily in prayer. Whenever dads fail to do this, more often than not, the rest of their family’s prayer life will languish. A father’s prayers should be marked by praise to God for His many mercies. Dads should lead the way in acknowledging their own inability and weakness, even as they appeal to the Giver of all good things for their family’s every need.

In this podcast, Scott Brown and Jason Dohm, joined by special guest Paul White, discuss the importance of a father’s prayer life, outlining seven reasons dads should pray daily with their families: One, because we receive family mercies every day from God’s hand; two, because of the sins committed in our families; three, because we have wants that none can supply but God; four, because of our family’s daily employments and labors; five, because we’re liable, every day, to temptations; six, because all in our family are liable to daily hazards, casualties, and afflictions; and seven, if we fail to pray, the very heathen will rise up and condemn us.
