⭐ Inside Page Prompts
Each page can follow the same pattern so kids know what to do:
Page Layout
- “Thank You God For…”
(Kids draw or write 1–2 things) - “Please Help Me With…”
(Feelings, school, friends, fears) - “I Want to Pray For…”
(Family, pets, someone who is sick) - Small memory verse box
(Leader writes a short verse each day)
⭐ Optional Themed Pages
- “When I Feel Scared…”
- “When I Feel Happy…”
- “God Made Me…”
- “Jesus Is With Me When…”
These help kids connect prayer to real emotions — the heart of relational teaching.
