HYMN DID YOU THINK TO PRAY? (GHS 166)
DID YOU THINK TO PRAY? [GHS 166] 1. Ere you left your room this morning Did you think to pray? In the name of Christ, our Saviour, Did you sue for loving favour, As a shield today? O how praying rests the weary! Prayer will change the night to day, So, when life seems dark and dreary, Don’t forget to pray.
DID YOU THINK TO PRAY? [GHS 166] 2. When you met with great temptation Did you think to pray? By His dying love and merit Did you claim the Holy Spirit As your guide and stay?

DID YOU THINK TO PRAY? [GHS 166] 3. When your heart was overburdened Did you think to pray? Did you plead for grace, my brother, That you might forgive another Who had crossed your way?

SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES LESSON 649: QUIET TIME AND FAMILY DEVOTION
LESSON 649: QUIET TIME AND FAMILY DEVOTION • MEMORY VERSE: “And in morning rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed” – Mark 1:35 • TEXT:Genesis 19:27-29, 28:18-22, Exodus 34:2-10

SUMMARY • The essence of Quiet Time and Family Devotion: • It is time reserved for meditation in the word of God and prayer. • It is necessary for fellowship with God and rapid spiritual growth. • The morning is the best time because the mind is fresh and distractions are less. • It should centre on the Word of God and worship, with an open mind and readiness to receive and obey. • Select your passage systematically, few verses at a time and going from book to book, chapter to chapter; not randomly. • Focus on understanding the text and applying it practically to your life. Read slowly and ask how it applies to you. • Prayer is necessary to make the lessons stick, get needs met and touch others like family, brethren, church and sinners. • For the Family Devotion, the father takes the lead and every member participates in reading, sharing and prayer.

CONCLUSION • Quiet Time and Family Devotion are essential for spiritual growth. • Set time apart in the morning for devotion for maximum benefit. • The word of God should be the centre of your devotion: approach it with an open and ready mind and seek to receive God’s portion for the day from it. • Make prayer an integral part of the devotion: personal prayer, prayer for others, for the work of God, for sinners and so on. • As a family, apart from individual Quiet Time, have a participative Family Devotion. The family that prays together stays together.
