CHILDREN
Simple prayer moments help children grow confident with God.
Prayer grows in small moments.
When we teach our children to pray, we teach them that God is near, listening, and loving. This page helps your family create simple prayer moments—Scripture aloud, a short prayer together, and one small action your child can remember. Use the prayer card below anytime you want to strengthen your child’s confidence in talking to God.

What it means
Jesus welcomes children and values their faith. When we teach our children to pray, we help them learn that God is near, listening, and loving. Small prayer moments build confidence and make prayer a normal part of home life.
Pray Together
Father, thank You for our children. Help us teach them to pray with confidence and simplicity. Draw their hearts close to You, and help them know they can talk to You anytime. Give us patience and creativity as we lead them, and let our home be a place where prayer is natural and joyful. In Jesus’ name, amen.
