Hi I'm Linda Lion with Expert Village, and I've been working with children for a very
long time. Today we are going to teach you how to pass your protestant faith along to
your children and one of the most important things that you can do is to teach your children
how to pray and I believe that we should teach our children how to pray according to what
the bible tells us. In the bible it tells us to teach our children how to pray by saying
the Lords prayer that's a simple one. "Our Father which art in heaven hallowed be thine
name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day
our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.
Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil for thine is the kingdom and the
power and the glory forever. Amen". We should teach our children to pray scriptures, that
is one of the best ways to do it. Another way to teach your children prayer especially
if they are small, give them forms, teach them how to pray with their hands together,
it's a sign of respect and honor to God. Teach them how to pray with their heads bowed it's
a sign of honor and respect to God, heads bowed eyes closed, that is what was what we
were always taught. Another thing you can do is to teach your children how to pray by
kneeling, get on the floor with them in the evening. Get on the floor with them and kneel
and teach your children how to pray that way and then finally I would like to encourage
you also and I think this is very important, teach your children they can pray anytime
anywhere anyway they can. Don't get them necesarily so acustum to putting there hands together
or bowing there heads or closing their eyes that when they get in an emergency situation
they think that they must do that in order to pray. You should let them know that prayer
is a living communication between them and God and that He is available to hear them
24 hours a day 7 days a week anyway that He can, that will bless them because when your
children go off to school and they run into certain encounters they may not be able to
kneel they may not be able to bow down but they can still pray and the last thing also
teach them that they can also prey within, silently they can pray within and these are
the things that will bless their lives. I'm Linda Lion with Expert Village
