10 Things your child should know about prayer

By Susan Taylor Brown
1. Prayer is about communication.
It can be spoken or silent. It can be a song or a story. It can be a picture or a dance.
2. Prayer can be done as often as you like.
Every week. Every day. Every hour.
3. Prayer can be done however you want.
There is no right or wrong way to pray.
4. Prayer can be shared, but does not have to be.
It can be done alone or with a favorite toy. It can be done with friends, family or pets.
5. Prayer can be done anywhere.
It can be done in your room, at the kitchen table,out in your yard, at the park or even the zoo.
6. Prayer can be done in any mood.
You can be happy, sad, angry, scared or confused when you pray.
7. Prayer can be for yourself or someone else.
If you know someone who could use a little help, add them to your prayers.
8. Prayer does not need a certain structure, length or specific words.
Whatever words you use, long or short, however your prayer comes out is fine.
9. Prayer does not need a special occasion.
There are certain prayers appropriate to special occasions, but you don’t need to wait for a special time to pray.
10. Prayer does not need to be a request.
It can also be used to give thanks for what you have already received. “Thank you,” is a perfect prayer.
