Prayer is an important spiritual practice, and it's also a great God-given way to relieve stress and find strength during difficult times.

The following adaptations were originally created during the 2020-21 pandemic using the Writing Team's Lord's Prayer lesson set --lessons which not only emphasize the meaning of the Lord's Prayer but also the PURPOSE AND PRACTICE of prayer.

In the following posts, we have taken several of the Writing Team's Prayer lessons and adapted them for easy at home-use by a parent or care-giver. As such, they also work for intergenerational use, fellowship groups, and those with short class times.

Adaptations include supplies most families have on hand or can pick up on their next grocery run and easy-to-follow instructions for parents that will work with both younger and older kids. (Each of these lessons is available as a PDF that Supporting Members can easily share with members of your church.)

Check out the ORIGINAL Lord's Prayer lesson set, and see our "at home" adaptations below!

Lesson adaptations include:

• Why and How We Pray: Start with this lesson, which includes links to two short YouTube videos and nudging discussion starters.

• Art: A scripture doodling activity is a perfect family Bible study method for any passage, and it's outlined in this article.
• "Forgiveness: untying the human knot": This is a family team-building game that drives home the meaning of "forgive us our debts (or trespasses)" in a memorable way.
