About this Bible story

Kids learn that prayer is important through the story of the praying child. The Bible verse 1 Thessalonians 5:17 reminds us to 'Pray continually.' Coloring together can spark conversations about how we can talk to God throughout our day.

β€œPray continually.”

β€” 1 Thessalonians 5:17 (NIV)

How to Use These Coloring Pages

While kids color, ask them, 'What do you like to pray about?' Focus on the image of the child kneeling in prayer. This can help the kids think about their own prayer habits. Plan for about 30 minutes of coloring time, using crayons or markers for the best results!

More about these coloring pages

My 9-year-old was thrilled to color the praying child coloring page and immediately asked, 'Mom, can we pray like this every night?' It's so heartwarming when they connect art with faith! The images depict a child kneeling in prayer, surrounded by soft clouds and stars, reminding us of God's presence. We can see how 'Pray continually' (1 Thessalonians 5:17) is so meaningful in their lives. Last week during our craft time, we used crayons and markers to bring these pages to life, and it led to a wonderful discussion about how we can communicate with God. I love how these moments can turn into lessons that last a lifetime. Whether at home or in a classroom, this coloring page is a simple way to encourage kids to develop their prayer life.
