This month’s prayer calendar has a special focus on thankfulness. Â Giving thanks is a very important part of prayer, so we are going to dedicate an entire month to thankfulness! Â This month you can help your child spend a little time each day thanking God for the blessings He has given. Â You will find 30 ideas in this calendar, but I’m sure you and your child can think of even more! Â Don’t let this prayer calendar limit your gratitude. Â Instead, use this calendar as a starting point to help you and your children express your thankfulness this month.
You might also be interested in the Thankfulness Bible Reading Plan. Â This is another great way to help your child develop a grateful heart.
And, while you’re at it, jump on over and pick up your copy of the 365 Days of Praying for Your Child prayer guide for November. Â This one is also focused on thankfulness!
Before you leave, please like my facebook page and join the group “Raising Godly Kids”.
Have a great November and Keep Praying!

PS. Â I know that some of you might find this time of the year rather difficult. Â Perhaps you are going through circumstances that make it extremely challenging to have a thankful heart. Â Life is tough, and sometimes, after dealing with the hurts and struggles of life, we feel like we have little, if any, energy left over for giving thanks. Â If this describes you, please, please, PLEASE read Giving Thanks: When It’s Really Hard to be Thankful. Â I wrote it for you.
