Teach Your Child to Pray God’s Way
Will TJ Learn to Pray God's Way?
Someone told TJ the squirrel that he could ask for anything in Jesus’ name and it would happen.
All the nuts in the entire forest? Done.
Never to have to work hard again? Sure, no problem.
To have a big tree house? Why not?
All TJ needs to do is ask for anything he wants and make sure to say the magic words, “In Jesus’s name.” After all, isn’t that how prayer works?
Prayer Is Learning to Ask for the Things That Are Important to God
Your child will learn along with TJ that praying in Jesus’ name means asking for what the Bible says is important to Him—things like obedience, hard work, and thankfulness—not just whatever we want.
Praying in Jesus’ name is a powerful thing, but it’s not a magic wand. God wants us to grow and mature in our faith, and to come to Him with requests that align with His purposes and plans for us. Not our will be done, but His. This is the true heart of prayer.
Help your child develop a lifelong habit of talking to God and asking for the things that matter most to Him.
