The best way to show your child that you believe in God is to talk to God in their presence and to encourage them to talk to God in their own simple words.

The prayers in this book are to assist your own prayers and your child’s. Spend a little time together each day simply rejoicing in the presence and turning to the light and love of God. Say the prayers together so that they are not simply recited but learned by heart - that is, learnt by worship and not by the mind alone.

Prayer is a great adventure and the opening of our lives to the love and light of our God. Enjoy that adventure with your child.
