Beverly Crowter of the United Kingdom and her family prayed together on a regular basis. As her husband's multiple sclerosis began to take a serious toll on his health, Beverly says, "We reached a point where he needed the assistance of caregivers to get him up and dressed each morning. Our 10-year-old son, Daniel, would need to leave for school before the caregivers had finished, but we didn't want any member of the family left out of family prayer.
"We made a decision to have the caregivers take a short break from helping my husband so we could hold family prayer before Daniel left, and we invited the caregivers to join us. It was very spiritual to have them kneel with us as we sought the Lord's protection for that day. One of the caregivers did not believe in God and initially would stand in the far corner of the room while we prayed. Over time his heart softened, and he stood near us. He developed a great respect for my husband's strong faith, which led to many discussions about the gospel of Jesus Christ.
"It required a leap of faith for us to invite the caregivers to kneel in family prayer with us. We were blessed with a greater outpouring of the Spirit in our home."
