Teach Children to Pray

Teach Children to Pray

This could be the most important skill we pass on to our children.
Single Session Bible Study

Overview

Most people remember their first prayer, whether it was "God is great, God is good, and we thank him for our food" or the classic nighttime prayer, "Now I lay me down to sleep." But prayer is more than simply saying some words over and over; prayer is communicating with the Maker of the Universe. Prayer is pouring our hearts out to the one who created us and petitioning him on behalf of others.

Teaching our children to pray is an awesome responsibility. What is the first thing a child needs to know about prayer? What does Jesus say about prayer? What can we teach children about the times God says no? These are some of the questions we will look at in this study.
