The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Father, I do not always know what to say when I pray. Even Paul, who wrote a lot of the Bible, asked other people to pray for him. That makes me feel okay about asking too. Will You teach me to pray for the people in my house, even the ones who annoy me? My mom. My brother. My grandma. Maybe the kid at school I do not like very much. Bring them all to mind today, one at a time. I will not try to be fancy with my words. I will just name them. Amen.
