As the children grow older, there will come the parents to introduce their children about religion. Since religion (saints, holy spirit, or even Jesus) is an abstract thing for young children, it is rather difficult to get children understand how important prayer is. Sharing ideas or theories about prayer is not enough for the junior. They need more concrete explanations and also models to get them getting their best knowledge about prayer. Some steps below will help you to guide your children, hopefully.
1. Make the Sign of the Cross with Love
2. Close your eyes - this is very important - and ask the Holy Spirit and Our Lady to help you to forget all of your worries so that you can think of Jesus.
If you find it impossible to concentrate while you are listening to God, do what so many saint have done over the centuries: take the Bible, open it to any part of the Gospel, and read what it says. Keep reading until something strikes you or catches your attention. Then stop and think about that part. God will often speak directly to you through that passage.
