“Pray as though everything depended on God. Work as though everything depended on you” (ST. Augustine 2003). Children often believe in praying and they do the things they need to do each day often without doubting. Does prayer really work? Are there positive effects in children who pray? Should children be encouraged to pray and believe? These are questions that have been considered in several studies on prayer and children that shows children praying is a positive step in their healing.
