Individuals and families should order their lives so that time is available on a scheduled basis for prayer, reading of scripture, meditation and informed personal examination. They are to look to the church, particularly ordained ministers, for guidance and instruction in the nature, character and practice of prayer. All human beings need to be taught how to pray just as Jesus taught his disciples how to pray.
     Family worship is also advocated to be practiced on a regular basis. In designing family worship, all members of the family should be considered, and worship should be designed so that all members can participate in the worship. Creativity and imagination are urged, and a variety of forms and approaches are desirable. Guidance from the church is to be sought.
     It is important always for individuals and families to remember that their worship is to be regarded as a part of the worship of the church, the family of God. No Christian worship can ever be private worship; it is always a part of the worship of the great cloud of witnesses, living and dead, the universal church. One worships in the name of Jesus as a part of that church which is the body of Christ.
