Kids can take comfort that God hears and answers their prayers when they ask for the things that are important to Him and His Kingdom.

All TJ needs to do is ask for anything he wants and make sure to say the magic words, “In Jesus’s name.” After all, isn’t that how prayer works?

Help your child develop a lifelong habit of effective, biblical prayer.
