I want to start this blog post with a question. What is the best thing about love?
The answer might be different for everyone, but one of the most beautiful parts is how it can make you feel so safe and protected.
I think that’s why many people say goodnight prayers before they go to bed at night.
This blog post will explore some simple yet meaningful words of prayer that you can share with your loved ones at night as well as give some helpful tips on how to get started!
What Are Some Benefits Of Saying Goodnight Prayers Together?
One benefit is that it strengthens your relationship and makes life more meaningful because we all need each other in order to live our lives fully and grow into better versions of ourselves every day.
Another is that it can bring you closer to God because praying with your loved ones every night is a great way to have a quiet time with Him.
In addition, I think most people will agree that saying goodnight prayers before going to sleep at night gives them peace of mind and fills their heart and soul with love! Now doesn’t that sound wonderful?
How Can I Get My Loved Ones To Begin Saying Goodnight Prayers With Me?
The most important thing is to be patient. Chances are your desire to have a meaningful prayer time with them at night will side in line with God’s timing for their lives.
If they don’t immediately show interest, consider doing it for them.
You can say your own prayers each night and then say something like, “I’m thinking about you always” or “I hope that God will bless you every moment.” These are nice ways to let them know how much you care.
If they’re willing to try, consider saying the prayer after the song “Amazing Grace” or another short prayer that you both know.
