What does the Bible say about daily devotions? ›

Our heavenly Father wants to intervene and help us, but He waits for an invitation to get involved. We issue that invitation and open the door for God's help through prayer. God's Word says, You do not have, because you do not ask (James 4:2 NKJV).

Fathers, we need to understand the consequences that result from not having Family Devotions, such as a spiritually weakened family where the world, the flesh, and the devil begin to exert an ever increasing influence of darkness into the family home.
