hi my name is Socrates I'm a parent and
0:02
this is my two-minute tip so I don't
0:09
know about you but as a parent sometimes
0:10
it can be hard to figure out how to
0:12
model prayer for your kids and how to
0:14
show them the importance of having a
0:16
conversation with God and so for me and
0:18
my wife we figured out that just every
0:21
night before the kids go to bed right
0:23
after our full routine of bedtime the
0:25
very last thing that we do is we close
0:27
the night in prayer and it's just a
0:29
great way to put that in front of them
0:30
often as a normal thing to have a
0:32
conversation with God and sometimes it's
0:34
a little bit tricky to figure out what
0:36
are that what's the content of your
0:38
prayer how do you pray so if you're
0:40
looking for a simple way to model prayer
0:42
to your kids use the acts model as a
0:44
great way to simplify that and make it
0:47
easy for them to understand so my
0:49
two-minute tip for you today is one
0:52
model prayer for your kids have a
0:54
constant time where you're using that
0:56
opportunity to pray over them and to
0:58
show them what it's like to have a
0:59
conversation with God and maybe a simple
1:01
way to teach them how to pray could be
1:03
through the Acts model
1:07
confess your sins and ask forgiveness T
1:09
thank God for what he's done
1:11
supplication ask him to meet your needs
1:14
every day
