Faith based goals for my entire family

Having goals is a good thing, it doesn’t make you any less Christian and it actually shows a little bit of responsibility. Having faith based goals for you and your family is something holy. Not only are you wanting to commit to God on a day by day basis, but you also want to influence your family into being more Christian as well. Today I’m going to share with you all what are some of my faith based Christian goals for my family.

Get all of us to go to church

            Right now, it’s just my mom, my sisters, and I going to church; my dad doesn’t go. So, my goal is to pray and fast so much that my dad would go to church with us. Also, my goal this year is to go to church every Sunday! I don’t want to miss a beat because I know that my spirit needs God’s word on a consistent basis. Sometimes I go to church and my mom doesn’t go or sometimes they go and I don’t go to church and we should all be going to church on Wednesday, Sundays, and Saturday.

Start a family prayer group

            Every night before we go to bed, we pray. We pray that God would guide us and other petitions so that way we can ease our minds and prepare for us to go to sleep. However, I want something more than that. I want my entire family to pray consistently in a separate time so that way we can discuss beforehand what exactly is on our minds and develop our relationship not only with one another but with God as well. This family prayer group could also pray for various topics around the world or in our lives.

Get rid of all of our earthly desires

            I used to watch this show called Breaking Bad. It was a show about a high school chemistry teacher who decides to make meth and sell it to support his newly diagnosed lung cancer condition. I know that the show isn’t something for a Christian and I still watched it, but, I know for a fact that it does not make it mine. Sometimes, I’ll go back and watch a few episodes, but, in reality I don’t want to watch it because I know that it’s something that God wouldn’t want me to do. I used to listen to gangster rap and hardcore rock, I know for a fact that that type of music isn’t what God wants me to listen to because of the lyrics. Not only do they not worship him but they also speak of vain and vulgar things. They speak curses and it just hurts me, trust me when I say it that it does hurt to listen to those things.

Get my dad and I to go to the men’s prayer group over at my church

            My dad is someone special in my life and I would hate to see him get hurt or continue to get hurt over this sinful world. I want my dad to pursue God with the same passion and intensity as I do. I wish that my dad would go to church, so; can we all pray for my dad. I want prayers for my dad to get spiritually strong so that way, the heavens can rejoice.

These are some of my spiritual goals, I hope that I have given some encouragement to everyone that’s reading these posts. Please feel free to ask me any question regarding Christianity and the Christian life. I have been a Christian almost all of my life I have a lot of insight and yeah. Thanks for listening, may God bless you all.-German Gonzalez
