Discussion Questions
7 questions1.The Kendricks paint a vision of a praying parent or spouse as someone who covers their family in intercession daily. What would it mean for your household to have a consistent intercessor — and are you currently filling that role?
2.Deuteronomy 6 commands parents to teach God's commands to their children 'when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.' How does prayer fit into this vision of faith permeating daily family life?
3.The authors challenge spouses to pray regularly for and with each other. Research suggests that couples who pray together have dramatically lower divorce rates. What makes praying together with a spouse both powerful and, for many couples, surprisingly difficult?
a.If you are married, when did you last pray with your spouse? What would make this a more consistent practice?
b.If you are not married, how does the principle of praying for your closest relationships apply to your life?
