Teach your kids to pray like Jesus.

Bible App for Kids

It can be intimidating trying to teach your kids how to pray—especially if no one ever taught you. But prayer is simply an ongoing conversation between us and God.

Explore prayer together, at a level that’s appropriate for their age, and practice—together. How will you know if you’re doing it right?

You’ll all enjoy praying together so much that you look forward to it.

Your children learn best in fun, meaningful activities that you do together. Take advantage of natural opportunities throughout the day to pray for the different areas Jesus outlined in the Lord’s Prayer (Luke 11:1-4):

Early in the day. Thank God for today, and ask Him to help you be who He wants you to be.

Mealtimes. Thank God for your food, and ask Him to continue providing for your family.

When we’re upset. Ask God to help you feel better, apologize, forgive—and love each other better.

Bedtime. Here’s a simple prayer modeled after Jesus’ prayer in Luke 11:1-4. Tap below to save it to your Bible App:

Our Family’s Bedtime Prayer: God, we love you. Thank You for today. We’re excited for tomorrow. Please wrap Your angels around us and keep us safe. Help us have a good sleep tonight, with only good dreams. Amen

Help Your Kids Understand Easter

A Happy Sunday

Sacrifice. Resurrection. Redemption. Renewal. These are difficult concepts to understand, even as an adult. How can we introduce them to our kids in the context of their own, childlike faith? We created four Bible App for Kids stories to help you do just that.

Father and son playing on tablet

Watch A Goodbye Meal, In the Garden, It is Finished, and A Happy Sunday with your kids, and experience the Easter story together in ways they can easily understand. The interactive animations will keep them engaged in each story. Each story’s fun activities will help them learn what Jesus’ sacrifice means for them.

Along the way, let your child’s questions guide your whole family in conversations about how you can follow Jesus together.
