For Children - How to Pray
0 comments | Posted by Monica Hu on 02 Sep 2009 in Prayers :: Children
How do I start?
Praying is not as hard as you might think.
What’s hard is getting into the habit of talking with God every day. Start by picking a special time every day. Think about things you want to say: “Thank you” or “I’m sorry” or “Please help me.” Then tell God those things. You don’t have to use fancy words … talk to God like you talk to your Mum or Dad or a friend.
Can I tell God anything?
Surely you can!
There isn’t a thing you could say to him that would make him stop loving you. Tell him when you’re sad or grumpy. Thank him when everything’s going your way. Lean on him when you’re having a bad day. Talk to him just like you would talk to a friend. But you know what? Your friends might let you down. Your Mum and Dad might not always listen. But God will always listen – and he’ll understand you. In fact, he knows what you’re thinking before you tell him so.
Do I fold my hands and close my eyes?
That’s one way to do it.
You can pray while on your knees or standing up. You can pray with books in your hands or while you’re hugging you mum. You can talk to God at any time because he’s always right there with you. And he wants you to be his friends.
So, start praying to him today, in this very minute.
