Teaching your kids to pray using this prayer journal for kids
1. Teach Prayer as a Conversation with God rather than a memorized prayer
Be sure your kids understand that prayer is simply a conversation with God. Matthew 6:7 says, "When you pray, don't babble on and on as people of other religions do. They think their prayers are answered merely by repeating their words again and again." (NLT) In other words, we don't need formulas. We can teach our kids that they should speak to God in their own words.
2. Teach your kids to write their prayers in the prayer journal
Writing down their prayer on a journal regularly is a great way to help them develop their habit of prayer and at the same time get their interest in doing so. Kids have creative minds and are more focused in doing something when more senses are involved. Getting them to write their prayers not only gives them the interest to do so but also puts them in a state being more conscious of what they are doing.
3. Let your kids see you pray
The best way to begin educating your kids about prayer is to pray in their presence. Look for opportunities to practice prayer in front of your kids. Let your kids know what your prayers are. You can also write on your own prayer journal and have your kids see what you write on your journal too.
