A family that prays together [Spirituality & Religion]

[b][c=#800000]My family and I pray each night before going to bed and a few weeks back I suggested we read the Bible before praying because I like quoting the Bible when praying and my mom said it was a good idea. About two weeks later they started continuously suggesting I be the one to share. At first I didn't think too much into it but the more I thought about it it became clear they didn't care much about reading the Bible as a family. Today I suggested we stop doing it altogether and I'll do it on my own instead and they had mixed feelings about that. I felt like they weren't interested in taking part and I had no problem reading the Bible all on my own because I'll be going to Heaven all on my own anyway.

My mom told me not to complain that I do it most of the time because my siblings help me out all the time since I'm disabled but never complain so I should read for them every single day and be okay with it. I told her I never chose to be disabled and if I could do everything myself I would. My siblings told me they didn't care about reading the Bible as a family and that I should read all on my own and hearing everyone speak their thoughts made me cry when I was all alone. I don't know weather to ignore them the next time they suggest I read or just read for them to keep everyone happy[/c][/b]

His Grace is sufficient for you. Just do his will and don't worry about it. Read to them regardless if you want to or not .when they do ask of you. I understand where you are coming from. God bless you. Sorry for all the editing. I make a lot mistakes spelling and I also have disabilities.

"Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." Romans 10:17

Even though they may not say much, you are spiritually encouraging them The Bible says that God's word will not return void. Keep up the good work.

You should read to them. I bet they probably love hearing you read more than learning about God. You're a sweet sister, you could even ask them what book they want you to read.

You were never alone and your not going to be alone because God is always going to be there with you

We like to piss on the neighbor's tree and then take a shit in their garbage can. After that we beat them up when the come outside.
