How To Create Prayer Cards For Your Toddlers

5/17/2016

A child's prayers are so sweet and innocent. I love listening to my 3 year old's random prayers, that span everything from heart felt requests and thanksgiving, to hints that God thinks it would be ok if I let her watch her favorite Veggie Tales movie. ;)

I never want to take that free openess towards God away from her. Raising our kids is such as a joy as I get hands on experience and a front row seat every day as to why Jesus said we are to be as a little child. <3

But I do want to gently encourage my kids to be intentional in their prayers - to learn to pray with purpose! They are obviously too young for a prayer journal so I've been tossing different ideas around in my mind to bring a little more focus into our daily Bible/prayer time.

And then I was inspired to create prayer cards with the prayer requests drawn on them.

We had so much fun creating them together! We came up with several different prayer requests  and then drew {a very simple} figure on cardstock and cut it out. I wrote the request on each one to help me remember, but our little girl has pretty quickly got each one memorized.

I tried to add some ​defining features to each one to help it stand out as the prayer request it really was.

We had a lot of fun creating these, and the delight on my little girl's face was so sweet! She loves picking a couple out and very fervently praying over them.

​It is such a privilege to raise our children to love Jesus! I encourage you to really put some time and thought into it, whether you use these prayer cards or go with something else. <3

​Blessings to you, Mommy!

I love this idea so much! We do Bible study daily and also have prayer cards. Our cards aren't nearly as decorated as yours though ;)

Thanks for sharing! Pinning this to my Deliberate Faith board.
