ENGAGE IN EVERYDAY MOMENTS TOGETHER

Morning Time

When you go into your child's room, cuddle them and say: "Good morning, [child's name]! It's time to wake up and make it a great day! Give me a high five if you can do what Jesus says!"

Drive Time

While on the go, think of people you can pray for. Each time a person is named, pray for them right then. How many people can you pray for before you get where you're going?

Cuddle Time

Cuddle with your child and pray: "Dear God, it is so special that Jesus prayed for everyone who would follow Him. That means Jesus prayed for us! Please help [child's name] and me remember that we will always have Jesus as our Friend."

Bath Time

As you help your child bathe, sing the following words together to the tune of "Mary Had a Little Lamb": "I can pray for [name], [name], [name]! I can pray for [name] and do what Jesus says!" Repeat with as many people as you can think of.

(The Church Prays for Peter)

Pray for one another.

Our God is a God who strengthens and encourages you. May he give you the same attitude toward one another that Christ Jesus had.

Romans 15:5, NIrV

Engagement Questions

• Do you need me to pray for you this week about something?
• Do you know what prayer is? It's talking to God!
• Is there someone you know that's having a hard time? Ask God to help them?

Prayer

"Dear God, in your word, we see that we are called to pray for others; Lord, help us to always remember to talk to you; Lord, we know you hear us when we pray; thank you. We love You, and we pray these things in Jesus' name. Amen."

ENGAGE IN EVERYDAY MOMENTS TOGETHER

Morning Time

As your kid starts their day, ask them if you can pray for them or someone they know.

Drive Time

While on the go, ask your kid: "Has God ever said no to something you prayed about? How did that make you feel? Do things seem to work out anyway, even when they are different than you expected?"

Meal Time

At a meal this week, have everyone at
the table answer this question: "Who is someone we can pray for?" (Spend time after dinner praying together for whoever is mentioned.)

Bed Time

Before praying, take the time for both you and your child to write down the names of people you want to pray for on a sheet of paper. Pray for those people together.
