Pray With Me
Help Your Children Engage in Authentic and Powerful Prayer
As Christian parents, our deep longing is for our children to love Jesus, not just know about Him. Pray with Me illustrates that intentional prayer practices can guide our children toward an authentic relationship with God during their pre-K through tween years. Through relatable stories, biblical insight, and practical tips to involve families in prayer together, Erica Renaud outlines key steps and affirms the importance of: Preparing children to pray by engaging their hearts Getting creative about when, how, and what to pray Expressing the theology of prayer in age-appropriate language Encouraging prayer in response to tragedy and hard times This go-to for parents will also be a valuable discipleship resource for ministry leaders in guiding children and families to know Jesus and connect with God through powerful, personal prayer. As our children grow spiritually, we can too—no matter our own experience of prayer.
