Prayer And Children

Prayer And Children

It’s never too early to encourage children in prayer. As the well-known proverb reads, “Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it” (Proverbs 22:6). Moms and dads, I know parenting has its many challenges, but amidst all the busyness, try to create meaningful moments of prayer. It could be as simple as asking your child to pray during a family devotion, before meals or at bedtime. Before you know it, God is answering their faith-filled, childlike requests, and revealing Himself to both them and you. Keep in mind, a praying child will in the blink of an eye be a praying adult. They will thank you for the spiritual investment that helps them as they grow into adulthood and begin families of their own. Now that’s something to pray about!
