I think sometimes we overthink life with preschoolers. Especially with things of the faith. We think it is too hard or too deep for them to understand, and we sort of give up. Or we say, “in a few years I’ll be able to teach my children about this…”
I want to share with you today something that has had a huge impact on my life and I pray will have a positive impact on your life as well.
Several years ago, in a very dark season in my life, I began {somewhat desperately} to open the Word of God each morning and read 1 Psalm. I would read a new Psalm each day, every day, sometimes even later in the day I would read it again. When I got to the end of the Psalms, I would start over again. I wrote them on index cards, I carried them with me, I cried as I read the words and eventually, I wasn’t just reading the Psalms, I was praying them.
Praying Scriptures doesn’t have to be some lofty, unattainable goal for the super spiritual. Praying the Scriptures is for the weak and broken, like me, who are desperate to hear from God. I would love for you to read 10 Benefits of Praying the Scriptures over at my place if you’re interested in seeing the ways God has grown my prayer life and walk with Him through this simple prayer tool.
So what does praying the Scriptures have to do with preschoolers?
