Read Luke 11:1-13 with your family.

Prayer is something that is supposed to be a regular part of our faith life, but it scares a lot of people.

How do I do it? Does it matter? What if I ask for the wrong thing? What if I make God angry?

I can promise you the last one will never happen. Prayer or asking for something we do not really need will not make God angry.

Prayer is just a conversation. Jesus made it easy for us by telling us that prayer is like being a child and asking a parent for what we need. God will only give us good things.

And if we are in trouble or having a hard time, prayer helps us remember that God is already with us and supporting us. Prayer is for us to get used to talking to God. God already knows what is happening.
