It’s Spring! And that means Spring Break. Many kids are out of school and taking it easy for a week. Parents of teens and college kids are probably on their knees right now.
Praying while your kids have committed themselves to thinking about anything but school is not a bad idea, but the praying should be done by the kids as well. Some of them will, but most of the kids are focused on living a carefree and easy life while on their break.
I certainly agree that all work and no play will lead to depression and fatigue. But prayer isn’t going to depress you – if you’re praying to someone you love.
The way you communicate shows how you feel about the one you’re speaking to. If you ask God a question, your love-filled relationship with God would suggest a time of quiet listening is in order. You don’t know if he’ll answer with a spoken word, a Bible verse, an urgency to act, or something else. Your love for God makes you more attentive to him while waiting for his answer.
