Today is the National Day of Prayer, an interfaith occasion observed in the United States on the first Thursday in May since 1988. This year’s theme, “Glorify God Among the Nations—Seeking Him in All Generations” reminds us that all generations, even our littlest children, can turn to God in prayer.
How do we teach our children to pray? Many of us are familiar with the ACTS prayer method: Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving and Supplication. This can be a mouthful for children to learn and memorize!
For our littlest ones, the PACT Prayer can be a simpler method.
Each letter can be either part or all of the prayer. And they don’t need to go in that order. Just remember to convey, there is no right or wrong way to pray! Never forget the words of 1 Thessalonians 5:17: “Pray without ceasing.”
