Memory Verse Monday - 1 Thessalonians 5:16 on Prayer


Teaching your children the importance of prayer is way up there with teaching them to read and memorize God’s Word. Super man and I want our children to learn the importance of praying continually. It is such a comfort to walk through each day connected to God our Father. He calls us to pray without ceasing!




“Be joyful always; pray continually and give thanks in all circumstances.”



- 1 Thessalonians 5:16 -18 -

We have found that the best way to teach...well anything but especially this… is to lead by example. We pray about everything that happens throughout our day.


  • Little Buddy can’t sleep? Let’s ask Jesus to help him rest.
  • Having a tough morning because Sweet Angel is being disobedient? Ask God to help her obey.
  • Is Mommy cranky and tired? Ask Jesus to help her feel better and to give her patience!
I love it when I catch Sweet Angel saying little prayers throughout the day. There is almost nothing that warms my heat more than when she suggests that we stop and pray!


This is a cute little prayer book for Toddlers. It contains prayers for many situations that you can use as a guide as you begin to teach your children to pray.
