How to Teach Children to Pray

Both our strengths and weaknesses can pose a threat to an intimate daily connection with Christ. We will always need God's grace. Whether counselor or counselee we are powerless without the Lord. Everlasting strength is available to each of us at His throne! That is all we need.

In pursuit of the victorious Christian life, we may ask God why He is not giving us His grace and power. Yet what would we find if we rephrased the question—what if we asked how much of ourselves we were willing to give to Him? Do we trust Him? Do we know Him?

Our sons and daughters can be protected from severe and unnecessary problems. That's because prayer isn't just for adults. When the disciples came, like children, to ask the Lord how to pray, he answered with an easy-to-remember model prayer. That model prayer has survived the test of time.

God is a Father. His desire is to protect us from all evil. What's more, He is able. "The Lord will deliver me from every evil work ..." (II Timothy 4:18). What hinders us from appropriating His fatherly care?
