10 Days Of Prayer For Kids Plus Free Printables
“Jesus keep me near the cross”. How can we do this? Through prayer. That’s the aim of 10 days of prayer. We want to bring you and your kids close to the cross, close to Jesus the one who died for our sins. Like the apostles of old, we want to give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word, and to teach our kids to do the say. Join us as we do 10 days of prayer. You can follow along with our youtube channel each day. We will be happy to have you diving into the word with us.
How Long Should I Pray Each Day?
In this 10 days of prayer emphasis, you can choose to pray for any length of time you choose. For kids, you definitely do not want the prayer to be long. In fact, this 10 days of prayer is more geared towards encouraging your kids to pray and read the bible. However here are some ideas for praying with kids
- Make the prayer short maybe 1 minute or less. You could do short prayers multiple times in a day as opposed to a long prayer. Remember the bible says to pray without ceasing in 1 Thessalonians 5:17. So, encourage kids to say several prayers all through the day.
- Let your kids say the prayer. You can give them ideas about what they could prayer about. You can look at our post on short morning prayers for kids for some short prayer ideas.
- You can say the prayer and have your child repeat the prayer after you.
- You could write the prayer and have your kids rewrite the prayer or trace it if they haven’t yet fully developed their writing skills.
