Friend Jesus: Prayers For Children

Children, if given a chance, want to sit quietly and find within their hearts a place to welcome God. In Friend Jesus you will find prayers that honor a child's ordinary experiences and moments. There are prayers for your child to say alone, with and for others, and for those they carry in their hearts throughout the day.
-- "Prayers for Me" moves children into personal prayer, naming places, times and activities where they turn to God.
-- "Prayers for Others" inspires a sense of community.
