Now as grandma I know how to talk with God and I understand how absolutely vital it is for me to help my grandchildren learn to be people who talk with God, watch for how He answers and remember what He does. Many grandmas and grandpas I know often ask me what the are able to do to help their grandchildren know, love and walk with God. They do not want their grandchildren to turn away from a walk of their own with God, but do not know what they are able to do to hand down the faith to them.
I understand this, as it is where I was as a mom; but no more. Today I want to encourage you to do a simple thing to help equip your grandchildren ages four to fourteen learn to be people who talk with God, watch for what He does and remember. Then I want to ask for your help to let as many grandparents - and parents, too, know what to do as well.
Three years ago God put on my heart to develop a resource to help my grandsons learn to talk with Him. While I pray for and with my grandsons, I wanted something simple which they would be willing to use at home on their own. I knew how vital it is for them to learn to talk with God - it is not enough for me to talk to God for them (although I absolutely do this) - they must learn to talk to God for themselves for their faith to be strong and for them to walk closely with God. This was the motivation behind the creation of Praying Deeper Through the Psalms for Children.
This book provides one year - 52 weeks - of passages from Psalms which have been made into prayers for children to understand and pray to God. While it is an easy resource for parents and grandparents to use with the children they love and work through together, it is also a book children are able to use on their own to talk with God, record their requests and how God answers as well. With this book they will learn to talk with God on their own, and you will be able to have amazing, deep conversations about Who God is, why we obey Him and how we are able to know He answers our prayers.
Please do not just say you do not know how to hand down the faith - Praying Deeper Through the Psalms for Children will give you the tools you need to hand down the faith to the children you love. Please do not put it off - this book will equip the children you love, ages four through fourteen, to develop their own walk with God. I wish I had it when my children were young - or knew to write it then. I didn't. But, I do have it now and am using it with my grandsons. You are able to use it with the children you love now as well - and it would make an excellent Children's Day Gift (second Sunday in June).
In this day when so much is uncertain Praying Deeper Through the Psalms for Children is exactly the tool you are looking for as it will help the children you love learn to be people who pray. Please get it for them - it is available in our bookstore at this link, on Amazon at this link and on Kidology at this link.
I am asking for your help. Please tell the parents and grandparents you know about Praying Deeper Through the Psalms for Children, so they are able to use it with the children they love. Please help spread the word - we are able to help the children we love learn their real "super power" - for them to talk with, know, love and walk with God on their own - this is one of the most important things we will ever do and Praying Deeper Through the Psalms for Children will help us - and them.
