One of the most precious sounds is that of a child pouring their heart out to God.
Give your children the opportunity to pray often. Encourage them to PRAY OUT LOUD.
You may even talk about postures (kneeling, sitting, standing, laying face down) of prayer. Whatever you do, let them pray.
If you say a prayer for your child, they may be informed, but teach them to pray and they will be transformed. Amen.
I’ve combined a few of my prayer thoughts with a guide from Children’s Ministry to get you started:
Praise God.
God you made everything. You are Great and Strong. You are Loving and Protective. You are Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Thank God.

Pray for Others.

Pray for the Country.

Pray for the Church.

Pray for our Schools.
Thank you for all of our schools. Thank you for our teachers and everyone that helps to care for us as we learn.
Pray for Health.
