After all, isn't that how prayer works?\Your child will learn along with TJ that praying in Jesus' name means asking for what the Bible says is important to JesusÑthings like obedience, hard work, and thankfulnessÑnot just whatever we want.\Help your child develop a lifelong habit of effective, biblical prayer.
