Introduction

It is a wonderful blessing to be a child of God! You can take great comfort in knowing that God made each child special and he wants a relationship with every one of them. Reading even just a little bit of God’s Word each day puts joy in our hearts and fills us with hope.

Prayers & Promises for Kids is a topically organized collection of God’s promises that guide children through lessons of confidence, love, joy, wisdom, courage, and more. Heartfelt prayers and prompting questions give kids an opportunity to think more deeply about the promises found in God’s Word.

Let the children come to Jesus and be encouraged as they learn more about the love he has for them!

Belief

To all who believed him and accepted him,

he gave the right to become children of God.

JOHN 1:12 NLT

The message as it has been taught can be trusted.

He must hold firmly to it. Then he will be able to use true

teaching to comfort others and build them up. He will be able

to prove that people who oppose it are wrong.

TITUS 1:9 NIRV

Dear Jesus, thank you for dying for me. I believe in you and want to live for you every day. Help me to learn as much as I can about you in case I ever need to defend your name.

When did you start believing in Jesus?

Helpfulness

“In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of

hard work we must help the weak, remembering the

words the Lord Jesus himself said: ‘It is more blessed to

give than to receive.’”

ACTS 20:35 NIV

“Who is more important? Is it the one at the table,

or the one who serves? Isn’t it the one who is at the

table? But I am among you as one who serves.”

LUKE 22:27 NIRV

Share with God’s people who need help.

Bring strangers in need into your homes.

ROMANS 12:13 NCV

Dear Jesus, it feels good to receive help and gifts, but you say it is better to serve others instead. That is a good reminder. I want to love and help people who have less than I do.

What is something helpful you could do for someone today?

Courage

Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the

full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against

the devil’s schemes.

EPHESIANS 6:10-11 NIV

Be alert. Continue strong in the faith.

Have courage, and be strong. Do everything in love.

1 CORINTHIANS 16:13-14 NCV

Even though I walk through the darkest valley,

I will not be afraid. You are with me.

Your shepherd’s rod and staff comfort me.

PSALM 23:4 NIRV

“This is my command—be strong and courageous!

Do not be afraid or discouraged.

For the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.”

JOSHUA 1:9 NLT

Dear God, you commanded me to always have courage. With you, I will not be discouraged or afraid. Thank you for being with me wherever I go.

When was the last time you showed courage?

Gentleness

“Accept my teachings and learn from me,

because I am gentle and humble in spirit,

and you will find rest for your lives.”

MATTHEW 11:29 NCV

“Blessed are those who are humble.

They will be given the earth.”

MATTHEW 5:5 NIRV

A gentle answer turns away wrath,

but a harsh word stirs up anger.

PROVERBS 15:1 NIV

Some people have gone astray without knowing it.

He is able to deal gently with them.

He can do that because he himself is weak.

HEBREWS 5:2 NIRV

Dear God, I admire how gentle you are with me. I want to treat others with the same gentleness. It’s true that arguments go much more peacefully when answers are gentle instead of angry. Help me to remember that.

What are some steps you can take to become more gentle?

Obedience

Children, obey your parents in everything,

for this pleases the Lord.

COLOSSIANS 3:20 NIV

Even children are known by their behavior;

their actions show if they are innocent and good.

PROVERBS 20:11 NCV

Those who keep commandments keep their lives.

But those who don’t care how they live will die.

PROVERBS 19:16 NIRV

Remember, it is sin to know what you ought to do

and then not do it.

JAMES 4:17 NLT

Dear God, sometimes I know what I should do, but I don’t do it. And sometimes I know what I shouldn’t do and I do it anyway. That is disobedience, and I don’t want to act that way. Help me to obey my parents and you.

Why is it important to be obedient?

Prayer

LORD, in the morning you hear my voice.

In the morning I pray to you.

I wait for you in hope.

PSALM 5:3 NIRV

Never stop praying.

1 THESSALONIANS 5:17 NIRV

The Lord does not listen to the wicked,

but he hears the prayers of those who do right.

PROVERBS 15:29 NCV

Come, let us bow down in worship,

let us kneel before the LORD our Maker.

PSALM 95:6 NIV

Dear God, sometimes I don’t talk to you as much as I should. You want to hear from me when good and bad things happen in my life. Help me to never stop praying. Thank you for hearing me whenever I speak.

What can you pray about right now?

Wisdom

Wisdom will come into your mind,

and knowledge will be pleasing to you.

Good sense will protect you;

understanding will guard you

It will keep you from the wicked,

from those whose words are bad.

PROVERBS 2:10-12 NCV

Wisdom and money can get you almost anything,

but only wisdom can save your life.

ECCLESIASTES 7:12 NLT

If any of you needs wisdom, you should ask God for it.

He will give it to you. God gives freely to everyone

and doesn’t find fault.

JAMES 1:5 NIRV
