Bible stories about prayer

Most children pray easily and stop when they grow self conscious. The stories here are about people who kept praying when it was hard, in a lions' den, in a prison at midnight, and what happened when they did.

Read one at bedtime, then pray the short prayer at the end together. Prayer is caught more than taught, and a story is a good place to catch it.

“In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.”

Philippians 4:6
