I thought it would be fun to share some of our favorite memories of our kids prayers.
I can still remember my oldest son's first "spontaneous" prayer. He was not quite 2 yet. He was sitting next to me playing with his cars and he said, "Mommy, let's stop and pray." So I said ok.
He bowed his little head and said, "Dear God, thank you for motorcycle, car, utter car, utter car, and utter car. In Jesus name, amen."
I thought my heart would just melt!
My youngest son's first prayers wasn't quite as understandable, but this is what I got out of it:
"Dear God, thank you for Daddy safe at our house, Mommy safe at our house, J safe at our house, and J(himself) safe at our house." There was a whole lot more to it, but I couldn't understand it all. He had some speech problems back then.
Now, my 6 yr old will ask me to pray for him when he's scared. He was so sweet yesterday, he kept stopping and praying for the people in California.
Both of my boys always want to say a prayer at meal time, so we usually have at least 2 prayers before each meal.
