## LIVE God loves when we pray. Why? Because God loves us and wants to connect with us. Even the smallest prayers bring us closer to God. Try thinking of prayer like talking to your best friend. The more you talk, the more you get to know each other. The more you get to know each other, the closer you become. Prayer can be similar. When you pray, think about talking to God like you would talk to a friend—someone you want to stay close and connected with. To help, try memorizing this verse this week. Let it remind you of how much God wants to be close to you. When you connect with God in prayer, you can be sure He is near!
