CHILDREN'S SILENT CIRCLE OF PRAYER

1/12/2014

I am sending this as a follow-up to my previous post, "The Circle of Intercession" as I think some of you may like to hear of different ways to encourage your CHILDREN TO PRAY.

In the Silent Circle of Prayer the children stand or sit in a circle and join hands. You (or the teacher) are also in the circle. First, the children are to close their eyes and think about God. 

Then you would choose the child on your right to pray a prayer silently. When she is finished, she then squeezes the hand of the child on her right. The squeeze signals the child to pray silently and when she is done, she squeezes the hand of the child on her right, and so on.

The last child squeezes your hand when finished and you then close the prayer time by praying aloud, thanking the Lord "for listening to our thoughts and for hearing our silent prayers as well."

This is a wonderful way to help children understand that God hears and understands our prayers and thoughts whether aloud or silently.

I love to envision children doing this and growing in their love and knowledge of prayer! Can you also imagine it?
