When is it Too Young to Teach Children to Prayer
Hey everybody, it's been a very busy month. We had a great time in Denver Colorado.
Today it has almost escaped me, but it's National prayer day. What an awesome idea. Today I assume that thousands if not millions celebrated this day with special prayers, special devotions in their homes, out and out praise sessions, drive by prayers as they travelled here and there, shop and prayer, walk and prayer, just basic any way and evrywhere there was some praying and praising going on.
I hope you took advantage of this opportunity and joined other americans in this awesome united effort to communicate with God. Most importantly, did we include our young people in this united effort?
I ask many young people do they pray regularly, and do they ask for forgiveness for their sins. Most of the time they state "no." Many don't seem to understand that prayers can be made daily, hourly, and sometimes moment by moment if needed. They aren't aware that prayer is the way to start and maintain a relationship with God.
National Prayer Day is a great day to encourage our children to begin a loving relationship with God. It's also a great opportunity to teach our children to intercede in prayer on behalf of the world they live in, the country they live in, the state they live in, the community they live in, the school they go to, their next door neighbors, their family members, and finally themselves.
I hope your National Prayer Day was a great day. I'm looking forward to National Praise Day. So we can thank God for answering the prayers that were made today.
