A Prayer for Prayer

Dear God,
Today my prayer for Caroline is also a prayer for myself. I'm praying today for Caroline's prayer life. I ask that you give me the words to begin teaching her how to talk with you, and that you strengthen me in my prayer life, so that she grows up with a good role model for prayer. I pray that she makes a habit of talking with you throughout her life. That she remembers to reach out to you to express gratitude, to ask for requests, to connect with you, and to center herself. I pray that when she's down and having problems, she thinks first to reach for you. Please show me how to teach her to pray, and when she does pray, please hear her small voice, and reassure her of your presence in her life.

Amen.
