Summary

Since Lent is only a few weeks away, it's time to review prayer and answer some big questions about why it is important we pray, and how we should pray.

+ MONDAY: If God is perfect and already knows everything, then why do we pray, and what difference do our prayers make?

+ TUESDAY: Most people treat God like a genie in a lamp. We should, instead, treat Him as our dad.

+ WEDNESDAY: What little gifts do we receive through unanswered prayers?

+ THURSDAY: God invites us to wrestle with Him and the plan He has for us through prayer.

+ FRIDAY: What are the types of prayer, and how does one flow the next?

0:00.0	You're listening to
0:07.4	Catholic Sprouts,
0:10.5	the daily podcast for Catholic kids that strives to plant seeds of faith.
0:30.3	Hey there, sprouts. Today is Tuesday, January 30th, 2024. This week we are talking about prayer on the Catholic Sprouts podcast. We're wrestling with some of these big questions,
0:35.4	like, does prayer really change anything?
0:38.6	Does God need me to come and talk to him in prayer if he already knows everything?
0:43.7	We concluded yesterday by looking at Jesus' powerful words from the gospel that we need to pray
0:49.6	because God has commanded us to pray. And we know that our prayers do change things and do have an impact,
0:57.6	simply because God said that they would.
1:00.6	And he is perfect.
1:01.9	He is truth itself.
1:04.0	So today we're going to talk about the way that we approach God in prayer.
1:09.6	And I just want you to know that most of us approach God in prayer. And I just want you to know that most of us approach God in prayer the wrong way
1:16.6	often. So let's just reflect on that as we listen. So a lot of times people approach God in prayer
1:25.9	like a genie in a bottle. Have you ever seen any of those

1:36.0	lives in a lamp or a bottle. And if you come in the right way, the genie will grant a wish for you, right? Sometimes you have to do
1:46.1	certain things, and then the genie will just give you whatever you want. And sometimes we approach
1:52.2	prayer this way. We think, oh, I really want to do good on that spelling test. So I'm going to,
1:58.3	I'm going to pray 10 Hail Mary's. Yeah, I'm going to pray 10 Hail Mary's, and then God's going to do that for me.
