1. Lead by Example:
- Pray first and pray often. Children will mirror your example, so make sure your example is worth mirroring.
- While praying, use kid language.
- Set the tone
2. Coach Kids through Prayer
- Pray alongside them
- Don't be afraid to gently correct prayer phrases to encourage stronger prayer
- Set them up for success by giving them something to focus on every time they enter into prayer.
3. Use Interactive Prayer:
- Combine scripture and props with prayer to encourage interactive prayer
- Pray In, Pray Out, Pray Beyond
- In: Encourage prayer on church and family by having children draw pictures of prayer requests and point at them in prayer
- Out: Encourage prayer for the community outside the church by passing out a newspaper and having the kids pray about news articles
- Beyond: Encoure global prayer by passing out a inflatable globe for children to pass around and prayer over areas of the globe.
