How to Teach Your Kids Gratitude Through Prayer (Week 1 Family Guide)

Welcome to Week 1 of our Formed by Jesus Family Prayer Guide series! 🎉 This episode is for parents who want to teach their kids how to praise and thank God in simple, life-giving ways. Pastor Trey sits down again with Kids Director Juli Minahan to break down the first week’s practice: helping your children understand prayer as gratitude. In this episode, you’ll learn: - How to talk to your kids about what prayer really is - How to introduce the Lord’s Prayer in a way kids can remember - Why Psalm 145 (David’s prayer) is a beautiful example of praise - A simple daily rhythm that includes family prayers and journaling - A bonus activity called The Thankful Walk that will help your kids see God’s goodness in everyday life Whether your kids are toddlers or teens, this practice is designed to be doable, flexible, and transformative. And remember—progress, not perfection. If all you do is talk about one thing you're grateful for today, that’s a win. 📘 Download the guide or grab your printed copy at formedbyjesus.com/prayer
