In the church at home the children are to learn to pray and to trust in God.... Come in humility, with a heart full of tenderness, and with a sense of the temptations and dangers before yourselves and your children; by faith bind them to the altar, entreating for them the care of the Lord. Train the children to offer their simple words of prayer. Tell them that God delights to have them call upon Him. {FLB 272.5}

I menigheden derhjemme skal børn lære at bede og stole på Gud. . . . Kom i ydmyghed, med et hjerte fuld af ømhed, og med en fornemmelse for de fristelser og farer der ligger foran dig og foran dine børn; og binde dem i tro til alteret, bede indstændigt for Herrens omsorg for dem. Oplær børnene til at give deres enkle ord i bøn. Fortæl dem at Gud glæder sig over at de beder til ham.
