What should we say in our prayers?

Prayer

In our prayers, we can say anything that's in our hearts. It's like having a secret diary that we share with someone who really understands. We can say thank you for the fun things, like playing with friends or getting a cool new toy. We can ask for help, like if we're worried about a test or want our friend to feel better. We can also say sorry if we made a mistake or ask for help to be kinder and braver. You can use special words you've learned or just talk like you normally do. And if you don’t know what to say, that’s okay, too! You can tell God that you don’t know what to say, and He will understand. You can also just sit quietly and think about God or say something simple like, “God, I need You.” Sometimes just being still and thinking about how much God loves you is a prayer in itself. The most important thing is to be honest and say what you feel. And don’t forget to tell God how much you love Him! Just talk to God like you would with someone who loves you a lot, because that’s exactly who He is.
