How old does a child have to be to pray? The question caught me off guard, as I’ve never considered an “age of accountability” for prayer. Prayer is, after all, simply communicating with God. And infants, from their earliest hours, know how to communicate loud and clear to their parents: they’re hungry, need changing, want snuggling, and more. Why would we expect anything less in terms of their ability to interact with the God who ornately created them?
