Setting An Intention in Parenting

Spiritual practices help us create space to open ourselves to God. In this practice, we will take some time to think about setting our intention as parents or as individuals who influence the next generation. What could it look like for you to talk to God about His priorities, values, and vision for your family? If you aren’t a parent, consider God’s priorities, values, and vision for you. Continue to bring this to God and spend some time in stillness just listening for His response. What surfaces? What does the Spirit bring to mind? Could you use these things to set an intention for discipling your children? An intention could be as simple as, “We will be a family that intentionally takes time to pray together daily.” or “We will be a family that intentionally shares a scripture verse each week and talks about how it could apply to our lives.”
