Good Morning,
In children’s Sunday School at Central, we recently studied how to pray. You know the best teacher on prayer was Jesus. He prayed often. His disciples saw him praying on many occasions. I think that they saw that it made a difference and so they asked Jesus to teach them how to pray. The prayer he taught them is called “The Lord’s Prayer”. It’s a model for us all to use. There are 5 elements to this prayer: Praise: We should praise God for all things. Hope: He offers us hope that there is life eternal and that one day Jesus will return; Depend: we should depend on him for our needs; Forgive: we should forgive others and ask God to forgive us; and Goodness: we should turn away from sin and try to be good and to do good to others. If prayer made a difference in the life of Jesus, it can certainly make a difference in our lives. We can pray about anything and everything, anytime, anywhere and God will hear. So, don’t forget to say your prayers! Have a wonderful day!
