prayers for holy week and easter for families

This morning my teenagers are peeling themselves out of bed for that oh-so-exciting first school day after Spring Break. And for all us types with less liturgy in our lives, it might actually be easy to let Holy Week slide into that sludgy pile of Great Things I Really Meant to Focus On.

So I’m tossing both of us a low ball here.

For FamilyLife.com, I’ve created a list of Prayers for Holy Week and Easter for Families, complete with a short Scripture passage for each day. Mine’s printed off and tucked beside the kitchen lamp so I actually remember to pray them.

Grab you-can-do-this Prayers for Holy Week and Easter for Families Here.

They’re totally doable for reading as your kids pour milk over the Honey Nut Cheerios, while you peck them with goodnight kisses, or while all of you hope for a few more minutes after dinner before loading the dishwasher.

I'm totally #thatmom--the one diving into all the weirdness with my kids, sidestepping a few eyerolls.

Pull up a chair for practical ideas and discussions on the parenting, relationships, and spirituality we're all army-crawling through every day.

After five and a half years in Uganda, my family and I returned to the U.S., where I write and speak professionally, and we continue to work on behalf of the poor.

My first solo book, Permanent Markers: Spiritual Life Skills to Write on Your Kids' Hearts (Harvest House), released October 2021.
