We can learn to see the limitations and needs around us not in terms of doors closing on our plans but rather doors opening to God’s greater plan.

The Lord’s Prayer is both a helpful framework for teaching our kids how to pray and a powerful introduction to the theology of who God is and how he works.

Praying before meals reminds us of our need for daily bread—to fill our stomachs and our souls—and points us (and our children) to God who so generously supplies it.
