Family Activity

Help is available to us when we pray. Help your family make a habit of praying by making a personalized family prayer acrostic. Use construction paper or other means to make an image of each letter in the word, pray. Assign your own words and meanings to each letter. Some suggestions are below with suggested explanations. Explain what each word means and how that reminds us about prayer. Make a time when you meet together as a family to pray (other than at meals.) Meet at the prayer acrostic and pray together.

• P- Powerful: Prayer is powerful because God is powerful. Place: We can pray in a special place or anywhere. Private: We can tell God anything. Please: We can ask God to help us.

• R- Remember: Writing down what we ask will help us remember when God answers our prayers. Request: No request is too big or too small to bring to God.

• A- Anything: We pray to God about any problem we face. Anytime: We can pray to God at any moment we want. Anywhere: God can hear and help us no matter where we are. Assistance: God wants us to ask Him for help. Ask: We can ask God to help us with any problem.

• Y- You: God hears your prayers. Yearn: We can ask God’s help with things we want very much. Yield: We agree to do what God wants as we pray to Him.
