What is your prayer life like? Why do you pray? Do you ever find yourself praying in a group hoping to impress the others? Or sometimes find yourself mistaking quantity for quality?

I’ve notice with our kids, when they get to around 5 years old, they move from praying little set prayers we give them, to praying their own words. They get engrossed in praying for every possible thing they can think of, but then settle into a rut of saying the same words every prayer. At each stage we need to help them think about why they’re praying, and what they’re praying, and help them grow and develop in their prayer life.

And sometimes it’s good for us to ask ourselves these questions too, so that we don’t stagnate in our prayer life; so we grow, so we develop.
