5 Finger Conversational Prayer
Prayer is a conversation that includes both talking & listening. The fingers indicate what you say to God. The space in between allows you to breathe and be open to the Holy Spirit speaking back. Take 3 deep, slow breaths and allow the Holy Spirit to speak to you.
Add Yo’ Word Prayer
Ask everyone to stand/sit in a circle. Tell them: “This is called “Add yo’ word prayer.” Simply add a word to finish the sentence.”
“God, we PRAISE You because you are...

Pass the Cross
“In this prayer, we will pass around a cross and each person will have a chance to say something to Jesus. You can pray silently or out loud. If you can, use a cross with an image of Jesus on it (known as a crucifix) and look directly at his face when you talk with Him. A variation is to pull up a picture of Jesus on your phone and look at his face there.
You can praise Jesus, thank Jesus, tell Him you are sorry, or ask Him for help.
“In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit...
Jesus...”
After everyone has shared something in the circle, end with:
“God, we praise you, we thank you, we need you, we love you. Amen.”

The Our Father
Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive
us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen

Hail Mary, Full of Grace, The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

God wants to tell you something...
To get closer with a friend, you talk about what's important to you, what's challenging you, and you listen to what is going on with them. To get closer to God, set aside your distractions to spend a few minutes with Jesus. You can put on music, journal, sit in silence, draw, read or listen to a little Scripture, say a traditional prayer, or just have a conversation.
Try these prayer experiences to see what helps you open your heart and connect with the peace and presence of God.
