Growing Faith At Home
This resource is developed by the Lutheran Church of Australia and is intended to be a guide in sharing faith activities with members of your family.
Here is a way you could introduce faith discussions in your home and day-to-day life.
The Bible verse Luke 18:7 talks of God’s people crying out to him ‘day and night.’ Prayer each morning
and evening gives spiritual bookends to our home life. As a household devotional practice
for this week, you could use Martin Luther’s Morning and Evening Prayers each day.
Morning Prayer
I thank you, heavenly Father, through your dear Son, Jesus Christ, that you have protected me through the night from all harm and danger. I ask you to keep me this day, too, from all sin and evil, so that in all my thoughts, words and deeds I may please you. In your hands I place my body and soul and all that is mine. Let your holy angel be with me, so that the evil one may have no power over me. Amen.
Evening Prayer
I thank you, heavenly Father, through your dear Son, Jesus Christ, that you have graciously protected me today. I ask you to forgive all my sins and the wrong which I have done. And graciously keep me this night. In your hands I place my body and soul and all that is mine. Let your holy angel be with me, so that the evil one may have no power over me. Amen.
