WHA IS PRAYER, ANYWAY

Before you get started, let`s talk a bit about prayer.


- Why do we pray?
-  How do we pray?
- And, What is prayer, anyway?

   Well, here`s what prayer isn`t:

Prayer is not:

- Just memorizing words from a prayer book;
-Something mysterious that only grownups can do;
-Saying a few words before you gobble down your dinner;
-a lucky charm or a magic chant.

So, What is prayer?

Prayer is:

-Having a conversation with your heavenly Father;
-Telling God tat you love him:
-Sharing with God all the things that are in your heart;
-thanking God the wonderful blessings he has given you;
-Growing close to God by sharing this private, quiet time together.

Prayers talking to God. Just like talking to your mom or dad or the person who takes care of you. An, when you pray, you don`t have to use fancy words or pay at one certain time each day! God really want`s to hear what`s on your mind.

What do you talk to God about? Some of the things you can pray about include:

-What you are happy about;
-What you are worried about;
-What makes you afraid;
-What your dreams are for your life.

The best thing is that talking to God every day means you`re walking through life with your heavenly Father by your side. The more you pray, the more you`ll understand how important it is to be close to God. And praying every day means you are going through every moment of life - the good time, bad times, and in-between times - with God right there with you.

So, don`t wait another minute. Your heavenly Father wants to hear from you!
