[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I pray for comfort ,  peace and acceptance for those who are hurting. In return, I feel comforted. [/quote]

This. When I pray with my kids (or for them, but in front of them) I’ll say things like “please help larla remember she is brave and kind, and support larlo as he tries new things today. We pray for our new classmate who is probably feeling really nervous and could use a friend. Help us all remember we are so loved. Thank you for this beautiful day and for each other. Amen.” It builds relationship with a loving God (my belief) and sets a reflective and thoughtful tone, but even if it doesn’t and you don’t believe in God, a prayer sets my kids up for a day of being a good and kind human who knows how loved they are.

+1 to the earlier comment that God isn’t a genie. I also believe God was the spark and made nature. Nature is going to do what nature does, which sadly includes death. He made people, who co create our world, and people are going to make bad choices at times. Prayer won’t change those things from happening, but I do believe it makes a difference in how we feel, and sometimes, you get a miracle.
