I won a perfect book for my 4 year old son titled, "Prayers For Every Day". Roma Downey's Little Angels series is a faith-based series created just for preschoolers. The stories focus on eight Little Angels who are guardians, teachers, and companions to twins Alex and Zoe. It includes 50 prayers for every topic that you could think of like Prayers for Morning, of Praise, of Thanks, for Mealtime, for Others, for Help, for Guidance, for Forgiveness, Comfort, and Bedtime. This book is a great educational tool for children with simple and colorful illustrations of small children and little angels.
What I like from the book is, the author includes the different names for God at the opening prayers: Jesus, God and Lord. When me and my son read the prayers together he asked about it, a great chance to introduce them with God's varying names. Teaching children little prayers at a young age is a good way to help them grow closer to the Lord. Make sure to teach them the skill of praying out loud. Here are the examples of the simple prayers included in this book.
Prayers of Thanks
Dear Jesus,
Thank you for my mom and dad.
Thank you for my pets.
Thank you for my awesome friends.
You're the very best !
Amen!
Prayers for mealtimes
Dear God,
We're grateful for the meal we have,
and that the pets were fed.
We thank you for the vegetables,
the fruits, the drinks, and the bread.
Amen!
Prayers for others
Dear Lord,
Every day I pray
for something for myself.
Today I'd like to pray
for something nice for someone else!
Amen!
Make prayer a habit. Encourage your children to talk to God about whatever is on their mind. Pray regularly with your kids. Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." Matthew 19:14
