Use simple, sincere language as you pray aloud. Avoid the frequent use of Thee and Thou. Do not use prayer to call a group to order or to dismiss. Rather, discuss prayer concerns with boys and girls. Then offer children a variety of ways to pray.
Silent prayer is meaningful to most boys and girls.
Pray for our pastor. Ask God to help you make good choices this week. Pause briefly after each direction. Many children will pray aloud a one sentence prayer. Invite volunteers to pray one sentence each.
