The early church was devoted to prayer. Colossians 4:2 exhorts us to be devoted to prayer. Teaching students to pray is therefore an important topic. Bible lessons on prayer will be helpful but the example of the teacher and the incorporation of prayer times throughout the lesson and one-on-one will be even more effective.
