Religion & Spirituality
I had my mom, and two grandmothers praying for me during my growing up years, so I like to say that I didn't have a choice but to be a pastor. Children need to learn how to pray because, prayer is a key component in our relationship with God and because of our relationship with God, we can ask Him for things and He answers our prayers. It also takes much prayer in order to parent our children and lead them in the way that they should go. In this episode, we talk about how to pray for our children and how to teach them to pray. We take a look at Jesus' prayer for his disiples and us in John chapter 17.
