Ask for dreams and visions, ask him to speak his secrets to you
FAMILY ACTION PLAN: As a family, talk about how easy God makes it to approach him in prayer. Encourage your children to tell you what is important to them and then pray together using the model prayers like those above. Make it a practice to pray together as a family on a daily basis.
