\"Monday<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It’s been a while since I’ve published my Monday Mailbag column, and my inbox is overflowing as a result. So I’m tackling the messages awaiting attention, beginning with this reader request for mealtime and bedtime prayers for children:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Request: A fun way to teach children to pray?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dear Jennifer,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you have any short children’s prayers for mealtime and bedtime that could be used to make prayer dice for my nieces and nephew? I need six prayers for each die and would like to somehow print them on a 1- or 2-inch cube. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That way, when children roll the dice, they can say whatever prayer lands on top. I’d love to have two dice: one with all bedtime prayers and one with all mealtime prayers. Could you make something like that for me?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Respectfully,
\nConnie<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Response: Children’s Prayer Dice, Coming Up!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Well, Connie, I didn’t have anything of that nature previously, but I’m intrigued by the concept and happy to help. Here are a few prayers I hope will suit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
