About the Book

From the creator of God Gave Us You, God Gave Us Christmas, and God Gave Us Easter comes a story that teaches young readers how to talk with God about anything that's on their mind—part of the bestselling God Gave Us series, with more than 5 million books sold!

Little Pup discovers Mama sitting silently by the lake, praying. But what does that mean? And how does Little Pup go about praying to God? And what do you say to God? Little Pup's questions spill out as he and Mama walk through the woods. Mama patiently helps Little Pup learn the importance of prayer, forgiveness, gratefulness, and compassion toward others.

With guided prayers for children to use and inspiration to help them create their own, God Gave Us Prayer gently models the ACTS method of prayer: adoration, confession, thanks, and supplication. In the familiar voice that millions have grown to trust from her God Gave Us series, Lisa Tawn Bergren introduces kids to the power of prayer.

Excerpt

God Gave Us Prayer

“Whatcha doin’ out here, Mama?”

Little Pup asked, plopping down beside her.

“I’m spending some time with God, Little Pup. Praying.”

“Huh? I don’t see your lips moving.”

Mama smiled. “Well, God is an amazing listener,” she said. “He can hear our prayers, even when they’re thoughts.”
