Simply Angie Teaching Kids How To PrayTeaching children about prayer is one of the most important responsibilities of a Christian parent, teacher, or caregiver.
How is your prayer life? Do you really have one? Are you carrying on a running conversation with God throughout your day? Is He the One that you run to first when you have a worry, a fear, a blessing, or a need? Maybe you are a new Christian and haven’t yet developed a close relationship with your Savior. You might still feel a bit uncomfortable or unsure about coming boldly before the King of Heaven to make your requests known. Thanks for reading Simply Angie!

Maybe you’ve been saved for a long time, but have developed the habit of “crisis praying.” Sadly, it’s not uncommon for children of God to run their own lives and only seek God’s face in times of crisis, when circumstances get out of control, and they have to acknowledge they need Supernatural help. Wouldn’t you like to have the confidence and peace in your heart that comes from knowing your Heavenly Father is walking beside you as your Best Friend and Ally as you go through your daily tasks, however trivial or significant they may be? Prayer is one of the most amazing gifts that God has given to mankind. It is the Christian’s source of power, and yet it is also a command. We are urged by God in His Word to “Pray without ceasing.” (I Thessalonians 5:17) If we are not obeying this command as we should, how can we possibly go about the vital task of teaching kids how to pray? Every child who develops a very personal relationship with the One True God and learns how to communicate with Him from a young age, will have the great advantage of enjoying all the blessings that come from walking with God for a lifetime. I Samuel 12:23-24 The absolute best time in life to learn how to pray is as a child. If you didn’t have that opportunity growing up, it’s not too late for you. In fact, Jesus Himself stated that we must receive the kingdom of God as a little child. While you are teaching your kids how to pray, you can be teaching yourself as well. Learn and grow together, if necessary, but ensure your children have the knowledge, understanding, and familiarity of prayer in their lives.
