When Jesus needed to feel very close to his Father, what did he do? – He would pray. Jesus prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane, before he was betrayed by Judas. He prayed before he raised Lazarus from the dead and Jesus prayed during the Last Supper, before he broke the bread. Like us Jesus needed to share his worries and problems with his heavenly Father; he knew that he was never alone. Just as we are never alone. God is always with us.
When we pray we are having a conversation with God. When we talk to God, he listens. We don’t have to have special times for saying prayers. Often we say them at bedtime but we can talk to God at any time. Do you ever feel unsure about what to say to God? Don’t worry as God our Father likes to hear about everything we have to tell him and he is always ready to listen.
The apostles knew how important it was to pray to God but like us they often felt uncertain about how to pray. One day they asked Jesus to teach them how to pray. What was the prayer that Jesus taught them? – The Our Father.
Watch this short video about how Jesus taught his disciples the Our Father:
Let’s say the Our Father now. I have copied the words to help you if you need it.
