Prayer Arrows: Praise

Praise.

The Arrow that points up. 

Think about who God is, and what He is like
.......and tell Him.

Psalm 8:2 (TLB)
You have taught the little children to praise you perfectly. May their example shame and silence your enemies!


When I do this prayer with children, I do 'Shouting Prayers'.

I ask them to think of a word that describes God and say what it is.

It could be a real word: Big, Awesome, Wonderful, Loving.......

It could be a made up word: Humunginormous, Fandabiedozie, Wonderbig......

We then turn those words into a prayer.

I start with "Dear God, we think you are..." Then all the children shout their word out - lots of different words shouted at the same time. We then close with a "Wind Up" Amen (Something quite difficult to explain here..... but it's fun!)

There's loads of songs out there that can back this up too!

More to come!
