Want to get your kids excited about prayer? Check out these fun activities.

Today (6/24), The Morning Thing shared some fun activities to get your kids excited about praying. Prayer is a wonderful tool that God has blessed us with for our spiritual walk with Him.

Check out these 4 fun activities from youversion.com

Click HERE to read the full article.

  1. Count Your Blessings. At the end of each day, spend 5-10 minutes talking about a few things that blessed your family. After everyone’s shared, thank God for the good He’s done in your life that day. Modeling thankfulness for your kids now will help shape the way they remember hard seasons. (Plus, focusing on your blessings can help lower stress levels.)
  2. Pray Through the Week. Each week, pick a theme with your kids. (It could be a country, a person, or something your children love.)Every day, have a child pray for that theme and allow whoever prays to choose a theme-related activity for you to do together. (Need activity ideas? You can find Bible-based coloring pages and Adventure Books here.)
  3. Go on a Nature Walk. The next time you go outside, ask your children to point out anything that makes them smile. Take turns thanking God for creating the beauty around you. Try to enjoy the world through their eyes, together.
  4. Pray through Praise Songs. Everything you do can be an act of worship. Pick one of your children’s favorite worship songs and sing it together. Make that song your prayer for the day.
