Praying Families..Yes We Are..!

It is wonderful if Christian families are able to pray together. Not only does this enable the family unit to bring God's love and power into their caring for each other, but it also acts as a reminder of blessing, and a source of help.
Children grow into an environment which knows that the source of help is Christ, and the family know the help they have received together. This kind of believing prayer not only grows children's faith, but can strengthen the faith of parents too.

So we should do :

• Regularly praying together as husband and wife brings the Lord back into the unity of the marriage.
• Teaching children to pray is important, and we offer a page of thoughts to help Christian parents to do this at home.
• Mealtimes offers a chance for a simple family prayer or grace, thanking Him for His provision and blessing.
• Prayer households are willing to take on a slightly broader role in praying for their neighbourhood.
• Thoughts on how to pray for families and friends.
• Families can pray together about a range of prayer needs. These might include healing of loved ones, the world, each other or their church. It is good to pray about daily life as well as the major issues that dominate tv of the newspapers.

For Our Children, I have some good prayers that i had copied from some good articles :

Dear God,We are sorry for doing wrong things. Please forgive us. Help us to forgive those who are unkind to us. Amen.

Lord Jesus, Thank you for my friends, and for the games and fun that we share. Please help me to be a good friend to them. Amen.

Lord, Help me to notice people who need my help. Children who are alone without friends, My parents or teachers, when they need a hand. Amen

Dear Jesus:Thank you for this food.Bless us all and keep us from harm.Guide and direct us, through all our days.Amen!

Thank you for the world so sweet,Thank you for the food we eat,Thank you for the birds that sing,Thank you God for everything. Amen.
