Adding Biblical Truths to Daily Prayer Time

Our pastor, Buddy Liles, recently shared what they are teaching their five boys to pray at the end of their prayers each night.  I love the truths packed in these simple statements…

…And, thank You, God, for Jesus,

Who loves me,

and Who died,

in my place,

on the cross,

for my sins,

He got out of the cave,

and He’s alive!

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

They started more simply, but have added more as the boys have grown.
He added, “All of these refinements, adjustments, and repetition of the simple ending of prayers are our intentional efforts to build a rhythm of praying and a reservoir of theology they may not understand fully now but will have as they grow and may draw on some day when they didn’t realize it was there!”
