Ever ask yourself the question: How should I pray?  Here is but one example among many.  There are the prayers written by 8th grader Cameron Wagner to share with the congregation the day he confirmed his faith along with our other 8th graders in worship.

Please bow your heads with me in prayer…

·     God you are our protector, friend and loving creator, we thank you for this.

·     Thank you for having a relationship with us, listening to all of our prayers and for our blessings and health.

·     Thank you for all of our mentors, our friends and families and for the many people you put into our lives.

·     We ask that you please give us the strength to spread our faith, and to be loving to people we are around each day.

·     As we go out of here today, please keep us away from the Devil’s grasp and from our daily temptations.

·     Thank you for always forgiving us for our many mistakes

·     Lastly, protect our 8^th grade group as we proceed through our high school years and help our faith to grow.

·     In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
