Remember: The Bible tells us Jesus taught his friends a simple way to pray: to the Father, with honest words.
Read and answer
Read the story first, then answer.
Ben asks how to prayBen is a made-up boy. He lived with his grandma. Every morning she sat in a quiet corner and prayed. Ben asked her how to pray, and she told him that the friends of Jesus had asked Jesus the very same thing. Jesus said not to pray in the street so that people would see, but to go into a quiet room, close the door and talk to their Father. He said not to pile up empty words, because their Father already knows what they need. Then he showed them a pattern to follow. Grandma said it has six parts: Father, name, kingdom, bread, forgive, safe. Prayer is talking with God, and it can be short and in your own words.
