Show & Share - Prayer

Dear Parents,

God wants your children to know how to pray even more than you do! Bring your desire to teach your children to pray before God. Pray that God would help you to grow in your own prayer life and that He would give you wisdom as you teach your children. Most of all, pray that God would get hold of your children’s hearts so that they would desire to pray.

When life gets hard, our children need to know how to pray. It’s important when they feel far away from God, they need to know how to pray. When they need wisdom, forgiveness, or a deeper relationship with God, they need to know how to pray. As they are completely overwhelmed by life, they need to know how to pray.

Teach your child to respond with thankfulness for all of God’s blessings.

God loves to hear our petitions. So, teach your child to come to God and ask Him for what they need.

Teach your kids to begin prayer with worship. True worship brings God glory and realigns our hearts to trust and follow Him.

Teach your children to confess their sins to God and ask for forgiveness. Encourage your children to run to God and confess their sins when their hearts are repentant. Help them to understand the joy of forgiveness. Help them to know how much God loves them and that all He wants is their love. One way we show God love is to talk to Him. Don’t they like when you talk to them? We all like to be told how wonderful we are. Jesus lived his life so that God would be glorified, we should too.
