About this Bible story

The Praying Boy story shows how important it is to talk to God. Just like Psalm 4:1 says, 'Answer me when I call to you.' The boy learns to pray and trust in God’s answers.

β€œAnswer me when I call to you.”

β€” Psalm 4:1 (NIV)

How to Use These Coloring Pages

During coloring, ask the class, 'What does it mean to pray?' Highlight the moment when the boy learns to trust God. Use washable markers and give them time to color while sharing their own prayer stories. This can be a nice follow-up activity after the lesson.

More about these coloring pages

Last Friday, as my 4-year-olds colored, I shared the story of the Praying Boy. They were so eager to color the images of him kneeling and looking up to heaven. One child exclaimed, 'He’s talking to God!' This praying boy coloring page for preschool is a wonderful visual for teaching about prayer. As we colored, I reminded them of Psalm 4:1, when it says, 'Answer me when I call to you.' The kids loved discussing how they can talk to God anytime. With 6 sweet images, including the boy with his hands together and smiling, they can express their feelings while coloring. I printed these pages to use during our snack time too, which made for a lovely moment of reflection.
