How do I get my kids to pray?
Find and cultivate a spiritual atmosphere within your own self and within your families, to cultivate the atmosphere of prayer. St. Paisios was so adamant about this. He said the great miracle that we witness in our times is when a woman is pregnant, and he was so adamant about women who were pregnant saying the Jesus Prayer. And one of his famous sayings was, he said, praying children come from praying parents. And somebody once asked me, they were like, Father, how do I get my children to pray more? And I said, well, do you want to pray? And they said, not really. I said, well, that is just how it is.
