Pray for difficult relationships.
Many times when I felt at a roadblock with a friend or family member I had nothing else left to do but Pray. I’ve learned my lesson because Prayer should have been at the forefront to begin with in all my relationships.
Countless times when no other human option worked Prayer came thru. God has healed relationships in my life and helped create peace thru wisdom gained from specific Prayer.
Now I make sure I Pray before phone calls with family, outings with friends, business relationships and more. I Pray for wisdom, guidance, direction and protection often to help me navigate relationships. I wouldn’t be effective on my own with taking direction from God thru Prayer. -

A Kids Prayer Before Meals
My two youngest kids usually have a go-to Prayer they use before meals when they are asked to Pray. I asked my youngest (6) to help me write this so I can share that Prayer:
(It’s like a rhyming song/Prayer combo)
We are thankful, we are thankful, for our food, for our food. All of us together, all of us together, thank you God, thank you God.
Amen.

Prayer and a Shooting Star
When I was about 17 years old my Mother was having some heart issues and it was scary for us all because her Mom (my Grandmother) had had an open heart surgery a few years prior. The tests were not going well and we were all very concerned. I remember one night clearly I went outside to take a walk to walk off some stress and worry and my girlfriend at the time joined me. I didn’t want to bother her but I started talking about how I was feeling about the test results and what we were in for in regards to options for Mom’s survival.
I/we had prayed that night earlier and just as my girlfriend and I were walking in the dark down my driveway we both looked up and saw a bright shooting star, clear as day, go across the sky in front of us…we both couldn’t believe and stood still and in awe at what had just happened as we discussed Mom. A calm feeling fell over me and I began to cry…not wanting to because I thought I’d look like a wuss lol but I couldn’t help it. I knew at that very moment God was telling me Mom would be ok. I knew with 100 percent certainty it was all going to be ok and it was.
About 18-19 years later my Mom had some pains and went in for a heart catherization and then had open heart surgery for the blockages and still lived more years until lymphoma came and took her life.
God was speaking to me that night with an answer in that one lone shooting star on our walk at that exact moment when I was sad and desperate to not lose my Mom. He answered my prayers as a teenager again.- Dave (Virginia, USA)
