As parents, there are a varieties of ways you can help your entire family during a season of focused prayer and fasting. Here's a few tips and resources:
- Explain what you are doing, why and for how long. Many use mealtimes for this.
- Prepare ahead for any hobby, time or food changes they may not be used to.
- Invite them to pray about giving something up as well.
- If they do, start small and give them grace (and yourself).
- Celebrate what God is doing with your family.
