Choose a Bible verse for your morning reading. Enjoy a time of prayer and just read and think about your Scripture. You can choose how long you spend doing this. Choose a verse for the night also, this can be the same as your morning verse, it’s up to you. Just before you go to sleep, read your evening verse, think about your day, pray and talk to Yahuah about whatever you want to. Thank Him and go to sleep.
Remember your prayer does not need to be long unless, you have lots to speak about that is! You can sing, talk or just be quiet and listen, you choose what is comfortable for you to do. A list of Bible verses has been made available for you below to choose from, however, please feel welcome to just choose your own. Some of the suggested Scripture are two verses which is fine, you can definitely choose to read more than one verse!
Note: Differing amounts of adult supervision needed will be needed per age group.

Recommended for Children in Groups 1 & 2
Go for a prayer walk with your little one – walk and talk and pray with/for your child. Pointing out Yahuah’s creations, playing and praying as you walk. Let Yahuah know your aspirations for your child and request protection for them. Find things outside to be grateful for. Remember to let your child know you are grateful to Yahuah to have them! We are aware you may be restricted to spending time outside at this time. Hopefully things will change soon, allowing us to take longer prayer walks/talks.
