Having the opportunity and privilege to pray with our kids and teach them about the significance of having a connection to the most powerful being in the world is such a blessing! However, it is a blessing that a lot of parents miss out on simply because we don't know where to start.
There is great importance in your children knowing that they can communicate with a God who loves them enough to pay attention to them. God is worth talking to and your kids are worth listening to.
Prayer helps your children cultivate a relationship with God that will grow for the rest of their lives. Vision Church wants to help you to raise praying kids, and we think praying WITH God daily is an amazing way to do that.
While praying as a family, use each of these markers to help your kids move through an age-appropriate acrostic to honor God, confess our sin, express our gratitude, and present our requests to Him.
​
​As you pursue prayer together as a family, remember that our Father wants to hear from us. He wants us to be present with him. He’s waiting to enjoy the prayers of your kids.
