Read it:
Psalm 139:23-24 (MSG) Investigate my life, O God, find out everything about me; Cross-examine and test me, get a clear picture of what I’m about; See for yourself whether I’ve done anything wrong— then guide me on the road to eternal life.

God’s original design is for the family unit to be the safest place to share openly and honestly about everything. Have your family take some time to answer these questions individually. Encourage everyone to answer honestly and remind them that God’s love never changes for us, and we are learning to follow in His footsteps as a family.

How can we pray for you?
Pray it:
Father, thank you for your grace. You know every single thing about us—the good, the bad, the ugly—and you choose us every day anyway. We desire to be a family fully known and fully loved by each other. Holy Spirit, help us remove the masks we may be hiding behind and love with the same kind of love we see in Jesus.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
