Here’s an easy way to encourage teenagers to pray
(or to step up your own prayer game):

Think about the words you say all the time, like “please,” “thanks,” “sorry” and "after you." Tell God “thanks” when you’re grateful, “sorry” when you’ve messed up, “please” when you need help, "after you" when you just need total less and spend more time listening (which is a lot of the time, right?).

These words and phrases are simple prompts we can use to talk to God every day.
