🏡 Kingdom Family Devotional — Day 53

Rooted & Raised

“The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eye is clear, your whole body will be full of light.”

— Matthew 6:22 NASB1995

🔦 A Family That Sees Clearly

Jesus reminds us that what we focus on shapes who we become. When a family sets their sights on truth, love, and God’s Word, light fills the home. But if we focus on noise, fear, or selfish desires, darkness creeps in.

What we allow into our home matters.

🕯 A Mother’s Role

Help guide what your children watch and read. Create a home that values wholesome, truth-filled media and discussion. Let the light in.

📖 Talk About It:

  • What are we spending most of our time looking at?
  • Do those things bring God’s light or cause distraction?

🪡 Kingdom Practice

Turn off the screens one evening and read Scripture together. Talk about one way to keep your family’s focus on what is good and true.

✍️ Prayer:

Lord, let our home be full of light. Help us focus on You and shut out anything that brings darkness. Amen.

🏡 Kingdom Family Devotional — Day 52

Rooted & Raised

“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth… but store up for yourselves treasures in heaven.”

— Matthew 6:19–20 NASB1995

💼 A Family That Invests in Eternity

Jesus tells us that earthly treasures don’t last—but heavenly ones do. A Kingdom family learns to value generosity, compassion, and righteousness more than stuff.

What we model as parents teaches our children what truly matters.

🕯 A Mother’s Role

Lead by example. Let your children see you give, serve, and invest in things that matter to God. Speak often of eternal rewards, not just earthly achievements.

📖 Talk About It:

  • What do we treasure as a family?
  • How can we give more to others and focus on heaven this week?

🪡 Kingdom Practice

Pick one item to give away this week as a family—to someone in need or as a surprise gift. Talk about how giving builds eternal treasure.

✍️ Prayer:

Lord, help our family value what You value. Teach us to invest in heaven through love, generosity, and faithfulness. Amen.

🏡 Kingdom Family Devotional — Day 51

Rooted & Raised

“When you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, so that your fasting will not be noticed by people…”

— Matthew 6:17–18 NASB1995

🌸 Fasting That Honors God

Fasting isn’t about looking sad or sounding spiritual. It’s about loving God more than anything else. Jesus says it should be done in secret—with joy, not gloom.

As a family, this means encouraging each other to focus on God, not on the difficulty of what we’re giving up.

🕯 A Mother’s Role

Teach your children the joy of quiet sacrifice. Help them understand that fasting is an act of love, not something to talk about or show off.

📖 Talk About It:

  • What could we give up as a family for one day to spend more time with God?
  • How can we do it joyfully and without complaining?

🪡 Kingdom Practice

Choose a day this week to fast from something as a family (sweets, screens, etc.). Use that time to pray or read a Psalm together.

✍️ Prayer:

Lord, help our family fast with joy and humility. Let it be for You alone. Teach us to hunger more for Your presence than for anything else. Amen.

🏡 Kingdom Family Devotional — Day 50

Rooted & Raised

“If you forgive others for their sins, your Father will forgive you.”

— Matthew 6:14 (Paraphrased)

🚫 No Grudges Here

A forgiving family is a peaceful family. Jesus teaches us that if we want to live in God’s forgiveness, we must be ready to forgive each other quickly.

Holding grudges builds walls. Forgiveness builds love.

🕯 A Mother’s Role

Lead the way in forgiveness. Be quick to model repentance and quick to release others from their wrongs. Your children will learn what grace looks like by watching you.

📖 Talk About It:

  • Are we quick to say sorry and forgive in our home?
  • Is there any offense that needs to be cleared today?

🪡 Kingdom Practice

Start a new tradition: end each week by asking, “Is there anything I need to forgive or be forgiven for?” Let grace flow freely.

✍️ Prayer:

Father, thank You for showing us mercy. Help our home to reflect that same forgiveness and peace. Amen.

🏡 Kingdom Family Devotional — Day 49

Rooted & Raised

“For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.”

— Matthew 6:13b NASB1995

🌿 A Family That Honors the King

The Lord’s Prayer ends not with requests but with worship. As a family, this is our daily reminder: God is in charge. He is powerful. And He alone deserves glory.

This truth reshapes how we live, how we parent, and how we face challenges. Because our hope isn’t in our plans—it’s in His rule.

🕯 A Mother’s Role

Guide your children to end their prayers (and their days) with praise. Help them learn that God’s greatness is a comfort and a joy.

📖 Talk About It:

  • What does it mean that God’s kingdom and power last forever?
  • How can our family give Him glory this week?

🪡 Kingdom Practice

Before bed each night, recite the last line of the Lord’s Prayer as a family. Let it be a declaration and a reminder.

✍️ Prayer:

Lord, we praise You as King. Let our home reflect Your Kingdom, trust Your power, and give You glory—forever. Amen.

“And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from evil.”

— Matthew 6:13 NASB1995

⛨️ A Family That Prays for Protection

Jesus reminds us that temptation is real and that evil is near—but God is greater. A Kingdom family prays together for God’s guidance and protection every day.

We ask God to lead our children, guard our home, and keep us on the path of life.

🕯 A Mother’s Role

Protecting your children starts with prayer. Teach them that they’re never alone in temptation—God is ready to help and lead them out.

📖 Talk About It:

  • What are some temptations our family faces?
  • How can we ask God to help us stay strong?

🪡 Kingdom Practice

Each night this week, pray aloud as a family: “Lord, lead us not into temptation. Deliver us from evil. Help us walk with You.”

🏡 Kingdom Family Devotional — Day 47

Rooted & Raised

“And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.”

— Matthew 6:12 NASB1995

✔️ A Forgiving Family

Jesus teaches us that forgiveness isn’t optional—it’s essential. As a Kingdom family, this means keeping short accounts. Asking for forgiveness when we’ve wronged each other, and giving it when it’s asked for.

A home that practices forgiveness will overflow with peace.

🕯 A Mother’s Role

Model honest repentance and gracious forgiveness. Teach your children that forgiveness is powerful, freeing, and part of following Jesus.

📖 Talk About It:

  • When was the last time someone in our family asked for forgiveness?
  • Is there any unspoken hurt we need to clear up?

🪡 Kingdom Practice

Have a family forgiveness moment this week. Invite each person to reflect, apologize if needed, and offer grace to one another.

✍️ Prayer:

Lord, help our family live in forgiveness. Let mercy flow freely between us as we follow Your example. Amen.

🏡 Kingdom Family Devotional — Day 46

Rooted & Raised

“Give us this day our daily bread.”

— Matthew 6:11 NASB1995

🥖 Daily Trust in a Daily God

Jesus invites us to live dependently. Not anxiously stockpiling, not presuming tomorrow—but seeking the Father for today’s needs. A Kingdom family learns to rest in God’s faithfulness, day by day.

This prayer reminds us that everything we have—meals, moments, and mercy—is a gift from God.

🕯 A Mother’s Role

Model contentment and gratitude for daily provision. When the budget is tight or the schedule is full, show your children that God’s daily bread always arrives right on time.

📖 Talk About It:

  • What are we trusting God for today as a family?
  • Have we thanked Him for what we’ve already received?

🪡 Kingdom Practice

Before each meal this week, pause and pray together: “Thank You, Father, for today’s bread.” Add a specific gratitude from each person.

✍️ Prayer:

Lord, You give us what we need each day. Help us to trust You, thank You, and rest in Your care—one day at a time. Amen.

🏡 Kingdom Family Devotional — Day 45

Rooted & Raised

“Our Father who is in heaven, hallowed be Your name…”

— Matthew 6:9 NASB1995

🙏 A Family That Prays Like Jesus

The Lord’s Prayer isn’t just for church—it’s for the living room. Jesus gave it to His disciples as a pattern for real, everyday prayer.

Each part reminds us of who God is, what He provides, how He forgives, and why we need His help.

🕯 A Mother’s Role

Teach your children the prayer not just by memory, but by meaning. Use each line as a way to grow their understanding of God and their walk with Him.

📖 Talk About It:

  • What does it mean to say, “Hallowed be Your name”?
  • Which part of the Lord’s Prayer do we need to live out more as a family?

🪡 Kingdom Practice

This week, take one line each night from the Lord’s Prayer and talk about it together. Pray it in your own words as a family.

✍️ Prayer:

Lord, help our family pray like Jesus. Let Your name be honored in our home and Your will be done in our lives. Amen.

🏡 Kingdom Family Devotional — Day 44

Rooted & Raised

“Do not use meaningless repetition when you pray… for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.”

— Matthew 6:7–8 NASB1995

🧵 Keep It Simple, Keep It Real

Jesus reminds us that prayer isn’t about saying the right words—it’s about meaning what we say. In a Kingdom home, prayer is a conversation, not a script.

Families grow in faith when prayer becomes genuine—short or long, loud or quiet—spoken from the heart.

🕯 A Mother’s Role

Encourage authentic prayer. Let your kids know it’s okay if they stumble or don’t know what to say. What matters most is that their words come from the heart.

📖 Talk About It:

  • Have we ever said the same prayer without thinking?
  • How can we make our family prayers more honest and meaningful?

🪡 Kingdom Practice

This week, let each family member say a short, honest prayer aloud. Focus less on form, more on faith.

✍️ Prayer:

Lord, help our family speak to You with real hearts and honest words. Teach us to pray simply and sincerely. Amen.
