Prayer - Kid Min at Home

Don't you love how verses in the Bible connect in different ways? One verse causes us to think of another, and they go together to form a new way of thinking or an action plan. I know that we have to be careful not to randomly connect things out of context. However, I do think that the verses in God Word are intricately connected  for our instruction. God is just that amazing!

This week I have been poring over examples of prayer . . . and thinking about kids, particularly preschoolers and beginning readers, but the ideas apply to kids of all ages (including those who are grown up). The topic of parents praying with their children seems so appropriate as we near Father's Day.

Three verses continue to come to mind.

First . . .

“Keep asking, and it will be given to you. Keep searching,and you will find. Keep knocking, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who searches finds, and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. Matthew 7:7-8 (HCSB)

And . . . 

Start children off on the way they should go,and even when they are old they will not turn from it.  Proverbs 22:6 (NIV)

When???

Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere.  Ephesians 6:18 (NLT)

Our kids are never too young or too old to be a part of our prayers.
Here are some times we can pray with them:

• when they are happy
• when they are sad
• when they are thankful
• when they are sick
• when they are lonely
• when they are ready to eat
• when they are ready to sleep

When else can we pray with our kids? Please share your ideas : )
