Prayer is a vital part of
our lives. Without prayer we really can not do the
things that God wants us to do. How can we know our
orders if we don't hear from the person in charge?
It takes 21 days to make a
habit - we have all heard that before. We need to help
our kids make a habit of spending time in prayer. There
are many different ways to do this. Here is an example
that was recently shared with me.
There was a young boy
whose Sunday school teachers made a deal with him that
if he would pray 15 minutes a day for three weeks they
would take him to McDonald's. As a child this seems like
a great trade off. However the young boy gained much
more than a trip to McDonald's - he gained a powerful
prayer life and a wonderful relationship with God. He is
now a predominate evangelist who credits his ministry to
the prayer life he started with during that challenge
from his Sunday school teachers.
You may not be able to
take "your kids" to McDonald's but try to find a way to
encourage your kids to pray for 21 days. Only God knows
what kind of ministries may grow from that little seed. |
