Jim Daly: 我常常听到人们认为祷告存在某种秘诀，好像必须以特定的方式、为特定的事情祷告，或者必须像教会里那些口才很好的人一样祷告，才能有效地为孩子祷告。但我不认为存在这样的秘诀，祷告的关键在于心。
Stephanie Thurling: 我认为上帝只想要我们的心，想与我们交流，想让我们带着一切去寻求他。父母常常对自己有完美的期望，这种期望会蔓延到祷告生活，但祷告不是关于完美，而是关于与上帝建立关系。在困难的时刻，向上帝祷告，寻求他所赐的平安，这能改变整个局面。
Sarah Holstrom: 我发现很难优先考虑为孩子祷告这件事，因为我们常常忙碌和分心。但研究表明，童年时期的祷告与成年后更好的社交、情感和心理健康有关。祷告能让孩子感受到自己很重要，让他们知道父母关注他们，并对他们说积极的话。
