What's the Right Way to Pray?
Key Faith Foundation:  Practicing Prayer
Key Scripture to read together as a family:  Matthew 6:5-13

Talk about it:

• Describe two prayers that Jesus prayed.  (Jesus prayed for God's forgiveness for people in Luke 23; he prayed the Lord's Prayer in Matthew 6; he prayed that God's will would be done in Matthew 26.)
• Name two other people who prayed in the Bible, and what they prayed for. (David prayed for victory in war in Psalm 118; Joseph prayed for God to help him interpret Pharaoh's dreams in Genesis 41.)
• Ask family members what time of day they pray the most.
• Say the Lord's prayer together as a family.
