One of 101 titles in the St. Joseph Picture Book Series, this book by popular author Rev. Lawrence G. Lovasik, S.V.D. provides children with simple explanations of prayer. Prayer is a special way for children to talk to God and grow closer to Him. Just like we talk to family and friends to feel connected and loved, prayer helps us feel close to God. When children pray, they can share their thoughts, worries, joys, and hopes with God, who loves to listen to them.
Prayer can take different forms. Children can say prayers of thanks, where they thank God for the blessings in their lives, like their family, friends, and health. They can say prayers of asking, where they ask for help, courage, or strength in difficult times. And they can say prayers of praise to show their love for God and recognize His greatness.

Praying helps children learn to trust God and know that He is always there for them. Even when they face challenges or feel alone, prayer reminds them they are never truly alone--God is with them. Prayer also helps children find peace and comfort, especially when they are feeling sad or worried.
By praying regularly, children grow in faith and learn that they can always rely on God, who loves them deeply. Prayer teaches children the importance of gratitude, patience, and kindness, and it helps them feel God's love in their lives. It's a way for them to build a lifelong friendship with God.
