A Child's Book of Prayers

Pray together through everyday moments, special occasions, and times of need.

Nurture a life of prayer in the children you love with A Child's Book of Prayers, a beautifully illustrated collection of prayers for daily life, special occasions, and seasons of the Church Year.

Gathering prayers of thanks, praise, confession, comfort, and intercession, this prayer book gives children words for bringing every part of life before God. Families can give thanks for His gifts, pray for loved ones and neighbors, seek His guidance and protection, and place their joys, worries, and needs into His care.

Organized by theme, the collection includes prayers for new babies, family life, friendships, mealtimes, birthdays, Christmas, Easter, holidays, harvest celebrations, bedtime, and more. Alongside newly written prayers are cherished prayers from across the Christian tradition, helping children become familiar with the rich heritage of the church’s prayer life. Gentle watercolor illustrations of children, animals, gardens, rolling hills, and star-filled skies enrich every page.
