Morning Prayer Time

“Dear Heavenly Father,

We receive from You (Hands are cupped together and are pulled up to our hearts to represent receiving from God,)
all that You have to bless us with.”  My daughter then adds: “And in store for us.”
I repeat her: “And in store for us.”
“We need more!  (I reach my hand up to Heaven every time I say ‘more’,)  We need more!
We need more more more more more more more more (Arms go crazy raising and falling,)
MORE of You!
Fill us all the way up (We wiggle our fingers from our feet to up to our heads,)
to OVERFLOW! (We wave our arms out like the ocean.)
You are the only One
who knows the end (We point to our left,)
before the beginning! (We point to our right,)
And we know that You are… (My kids fill in the blank with up to 10 things matching my fingers.  Some examples include:  Good, Loving, Kind, Amazing, Patient, Perfect, Generous, Awesome, Gracious, Faithful.  One hand represents for my daughter and the other is for my sons and they race to fill their quota.  Racing is fun,).
We know these things about You, so we trust in You.”
(Then I challenge my kids to pray “HUGE!!” and I give them a chance to pray their own individual prayers.)
Then I close us out in prayer.
May this help give you ideas of how to have fun while praying with your family.
God has no limits, so why should our prayers?
