Here are some ideas for helping younger kids pray.
Alphabet Praying
Each day, use one letter to help you pray. For example: On the first day, pray about things that start with A - America, Adoption, and Africa. On the second day, pray about things that start with B - Bible Colleges, Babies, and Billy Graham Ministry. On the third day, pray about things that start with C - Christian Schools, Churches, and Christmas.
Praying in the Park
Take a child for a prayer walk in the park. Thank God for the wonderful things you see. You can also pray for your city, neighborhoods, schools, friends, church, pastor, and the children of the world.
Photo Album Prayer
You can help a younger child make a prayer picture album. The child can decorate the outside with craft supplies. On the inside pages: The child can draw pictures, and glue in photos and magazine pictures of what they want to pray for. The pictures can be of family members, the earth, food, clothing, a house, bike, friends, and grandparents, a church, etc.
