Teach your Child How to Pray
We tend to look at prayer as an aid to our lives, but God intended it to be the foundation. Teaching our children to have a regular and healthy prayer life brings many advantages.
- Joy and peace. Look at John 16:24 and Isaiah 26:3.
- Personal growth. See how Proverbs 2:3-6 promises wisdom and understanding.
- Strength and courage. By giving our children the resource of prayer, we provide them with the tools to face their world.
- Guidance and direction. God has a purpose for each of us (Psalm 57:2).
- Protection. Check out Psalm 22:4 and 34:17.
- Provision. Our children pray to a loving Father, who has both the desire and power to grant them all that they need.
- Help and encouragement. Through their prayers, our children find the grace to face their daily strugggles.
- Promotion and honor. God exalts those who honor Him. Read 1 Samuel 2:7 and James 4:10.
