Teaching Children to Pray — 4 Comments

  1. I love the journal idea.

    When I was little we always said prayers before going to bed. When I got to about 10 years old my parents decided to establish a devotional time where we read from the day-by-day calendar & then we joined hands & had prayer time before the school day began. My parents would always ask if there was anything we needed to pray about for that day. To start with we weren’t that forthcoming, but gradually we all got the hang of it & were comfortable sharing prayer requests.

  2. Heather, I love this idea of intentional prayer times with our kids. When I first read it I thought, “I wish I’d done that more with my kids when they were young.” But now as I look back, I can think of times and seasons where we did exactly that. Like Wendy, we prayed with our kids before they left for school and often included their friends in that time if they were there to pick them up. We also had bedtime devotions and prayer times with our youngest. Wish we’d started that earlier when our older children were young. Thanks for the great ideas. Blessings!
