Everything I ever needed to know about life, I learned at BSF… well, not exactly true, but I have learned A LOT at BSF :) One of the things BSF has taught me is how to pray. I wanted to instill this in my children, so I came up with a way to teach them to pray. I made prayer sticks
We have attributes of God written in green, Thanksgiving written in blue and Requests in red. Each day we gather around the table and we choose what we want to pray for. We can add to each category as we want, but this builds a collection of everything we know about God, what He has done for us and things we ask Him to do. We each take 1 to 3 of each color and then we have a time of confession then we all worship God using the attribute we picked, then we Thank Him and finally have requests. The kids are loving our prayer sticks, and I am excited to be able to instill in them a love of prayer and a formula to do that will last the rest of their lives.
