The Practice of Prayer
When I was a young mother I wanted to help my children to be faithful to daily prayer. I wanted it to be simple enough that they would be able to do it without me, but also meaningful. I came up with a 3 question system for them to use.
What can you thank God for today?
What do you need to say you’re sorry for?
What do you need to ask God to help you with?
Over the years this has been a good format for them and for our family. It is a prayer process that we can do together or individually. Twenty three years later, it is still a way that we pray. Try it for a week and see how it works for you.
