My 3 year old refuses to pray.

Besides being a wife, mom, and writer for Cravings {The Devotional} I work outside of the home as a Family Life Director for Radiant Church in Surprise, Arizona. I have been in full time church ministry for 16 years. My primary responsibility is in our curriculum, writing, and developing what all the young minds will learn and know about God and Christ. I take my job very seriously and know that parents trust us with their little people.

One of your greatest fears when this is your “job” is that your own kids won’t “get it” or will be sick of church because they too naturally spend a lot of time there. And over the last month or two I have watched one of my fears become a bit of a reality. My three year old, soon to be four, has not wanted to pray before meals. When it is time to pray he will flat our refuse. At first we were “demanding” that he pray with us but I quickly realized this approach wasn’t going to cultivate a love of prayer. So I got creative.
