Pray Any Way, now in its second year, allows families to come together for an afternoon focussed on fun prayer. This year’s event, held again on a Sunday afternoon at the Houston House Hotel in West Lothian, drew over 100 people, ranging from a few months to the (well) over 50s!
Pray Any Way has its basis in the idea that children should be encouraged from a very early age to speak to their heavenly Father, and also that families should be encouraged to pray together; older praying for younger but also younger praying for older.
If children are really fellow-disciples with adults then they can pray for us – as well as vice versa. One of the highlights of both years for me personally has been being prayed for by children. This year children who volunteered to pray for adults drew out a word written on a slip of paper from a tub. They took that to an adult and then prayed that word for them. The little boy who came to pray for me had the word ‘friend’ and he prayed that I would know Jesus as a friend. His prayer included the lines: ‘we have friends, even best friends, but Jesus is the top of them all’.
