ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Christian prayer

Christian prayer is when someone talks to God. Just like you would talk to your mom or dad when you need something or want to say thank you, Christians talk to God when they want to ask for something or say thank you to Him.

Some Christians say a special prayer every day called the Lord's Prayer, which is like a conversation they have with God. Other Christians might make up their own prayers and talk to God in their own way.

When Christians pray, they often close their eyes and bow their heads to show respect to God. They might also fold their hands to help them focus on their prayer.

Sometimes Christians pray alone, but other times they pray with other people like at church or in a group. When they pray together, it's called a prayer circle.

Overall, Christian prayer is just a way for people to connect with God and talk to Him like they would talk to a friend or family member.
