I talk to God the Father, who made heaven and earth.

I talk to Jesus, God’s Son, who saves us from sin.

I talk to God the Holy Spirit, who makes us holy.

When I talk to God, I am praying.

I pray every day!

I say “Amen” at the end of my prayers.

It means, “I believe in you, God!” I talk to God when I wake up.
