ABOUT NATIONAL FAMILY PRAYER MONTH
National Family Prayer Month is a nationwide grassroots campaign, spearheaded by Hal and Cheryl Sacks of BridgeBuilders Leadership Network and a coalition of ministry networks, to encourage families to pray together every day during the month of January.
Cheryl Sacks book, The Prayer Saturated Family, How to Change the Atmosphere in Your Home Through Prayer, is National Family Prayer Month’s official resource. It includes a 31-Day Prayer Guide full of creative ideas, prompts and Scripture-based prayers to help jumpstart and develop the prayer life of families across the nation.
“Praying together deepens relationships, alleviates fighting and strengthens family ties more than any single thing you can do,” Sacks said. “We’ve seen that as families pray together and welcome the presence of God into their homes, they experience healing and transformation.”
Cheryl points out that society is positively impacted by family prayer. However, when millions of families no longer pray together daily, the result is an increasingly secularized culture, pressure on families and marriages, and a young generation that often falls away from the faith they were raised in.
Organizers say the goal of National Family Prayer Month is not only to see individual families revitalized but to ignite a nationwide Family Prayer Movement and ultimately national spiritual awakening.
