Initial thoughts on prayer from Sarah

After our initial gathering, where we decided to go away with 'homework' to do, I decided to complete the classic 'Google' search on what prayer was. My search turned up many broad and definitions, most of which centred around the idea of communicating to God.

This term I have attempted to change the perception of prayer for the students in my class that prayer isn't necessarily closing your eyes, bowing your head and talking quietly. It can take many forms. I think this is probably something that we all need to think about.

Here are the links to some of the more interesting sites on defining prayer that i found:

I agree that prayer needs to be meaningful in order to have purpose for example simply asking the children to think in their own minds something they are thankful for or someone we love in our lives. A suggestion was made to alter prayer in the mornings as a whole school in order to do this, make prayer more meaningful to all of us - to pray for things and also be thankful for other things.
