Last year, I looked for a kids' devotional to give to my niece, but couldn't find one I liked. Maybe I'm too picky, but I thought most of them were slightly superficial, even for children, or I had issues with their doctrine and use of scripture (taken out of context). So, if anyone knows of a good one, please let me know!
After my failed search, I decided to take on the task of writing my niece a prayer journal guide. She is 7 and has a hard time with prayer (what child doesn't?!-I am an adult and I struggle with it!) I wanted to make it fun for her, though prayer isn't always fun. But, she's a kid, after all. I wanted her to learn that prayer is simply talking to God and because God is creative, we can talk to Him creatively. I also wanted it to be something she could do on her own without any adults forcing her-but she could also share with her parents if she wanted to.
So, I asked for God's guidance and came up with a 30-day prayer journal guide based on the ACTS model of prayer (Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, Supplication).
This is my first time writing anything like this for children, so I would love to get some feedback! If you are a parent of a child ages 7-10, and would like a copy of this prayer journal for free-and would be willing to give me a little honest feedback, then please email me at cupofdelight@yahoo.com I will send you a free PDF copy now and will later send out an evaluation for it.




Well, I have no children (that I know about), but I would love to see what you put together. I could even pretend I'm 7 years old and offer an opinion. :-)
ReplyDeleteI sense what could be a neat gift for the children of others' in your lives.
