Praying with Your Kids Before School – One Verse. One Prayer.

Start Your Mornings with Purpose—Pray with Your Kids Before School

Once our kids start school, our time with them shrinks, and their world expands with new influences. It’s a crucial season to be intentional about discipling them—but how do we fit it into our already busy days.

That’s where Praying with Your Kids Before School comes in. This resource helps you carve out a few meaningful minutes each morning to read scripture, apply it together, and pray as a family. No need to wait for the start of a school year—you can begin anytime. And as you pray with your kids, you’re not just shaping their faith; you’re building a legacy of trust, connection, and dependence on God.

Each week explores a biblical theme with verses and prayers designed for both older and younger children. There’s even space for you to write personal prayers for your child, turning this book into a treasured keepsake of God’s faithfulness.

Because one verse, one prayer, one moment with God—just might change the trajectory of their lives.
