Teach Me to Pray

The Riess children live on a farm, with several pets and a big yard to explore. As they read the Bible, and other books about miracles, they begin to pray about everything.

This family wants to buy a horse with a foal, but it just costs too much. Janelle desperately wants to take skating lessons, even though it seems impossible. Ryan cries over his limp, lifeless kitten who appears to have drowned. How will prayer help.

Does God care about our day-to-day lives? As you read these stories, you will see a miracle-working God who answers prayers--and you will know that He cares about you!

Annie Riess enjoys writing. Her work has appeared in Chicken Soup for the Soul, Lutheran Digest, Guideposts, and Focus on the Family, among others. She has spent years getting to know children, working in schools, and teaching piano, Sunday school and children's church. She lives with her husband, Ken, on the farm where they raised their three children.

Femi Ajayi is a self-employed architectural technologist who has always enjoyed sketching in his spare time. Due to Annie's prayer for at least one of her children to move closer to home, Femi and his wife Janelle (Annie's daughter) now live on a nearby hobby farm with their six children.
