Habits in Middle SchoolSample

Staying focused when you’re praying can be tough! We all lose focus from time to time.

What can we do to help ourselves stay connected with God in prayer? Try this: Choose a word that reminds you of God. Maybe it’s something like joy, faithfulness, or strength. Use that word to start your prayer. And anytime your mind starts to drift toward your homework, or your hungry stomach, or what’s on TV that night, say that word out loud to help your mind get back on track. Make it habit to connect with God in prayer by focusing on just one word that reminds you of who He is.
