Teaching Your Children About Prayer

While this exercise is geared toward younger children, it is a good for ALL of us to remember.

1.      Let your child trace his/her hand on a sheet of paper.
2.      Tell your child that he/she can use his/her fingers to remember how to pray.
3.      Over the thumb, write PRAISE--start your prayer by praising God and telling Him how great He is
4.      Over the first finger, write THANK--thank God for something He has done.
5.      Over the middle findger, write CONFESS--it's good to tell God the things your child has done wrong.
6.      Over the ring finger, ASK--ask God for the things you need
7.      Over the pinkie, write OTHERS--ask God to help others who need Him
Put the picture up where it can be seen and remembered. When your child has it memorized, he/she will have the steps in prayer with him/her all the time.

Have a very Happy Thanksgiving and know that the Mom2Mom leadership team is thanking God for you this week!
