Here is February’s prayer calendar — 29 days to help focus your child in his prayer life!

If you haven’t picked up the free prayer journal pages yet, please do that! You can find them here . . . and they will help your kids personalize their prayer lives even more! And, if your kids like to color, you can find a special “love” (1 Corinthians 13) coloring page here.

You might notice that I waded into some serious territory this month by having kids focus on praying for the value of life. I have been challenged recently to dive into these serious issues with our kids . . . they need to learn that, even though they are still young, they can make a difference!! I have two Bible lessons on this topic as well: one for children and one for teenagers.

And now . . . here is the prayer calendar for February. Have a great month and keep praying!
