A practical way to begin
Read Matthew 6:9–13 together and choose one part of the prayer to explore. Invite your child to express the same concern in their own words, using the guide’s activity as a way into conversation.
How to use it
Read together with your child and adapt the activity to their understanding. Give them space to ask questions and respond without pressure. Model the practice yourself, and return to a section when your family needs more time.
Read each cited Bible passage in context. The guide uses King James Version Scripture, with devotional reflections and prayer starters to help you respond. Let the Bible remain the foundation of your study.
