Doing something for the first time is terribly hard. But it gets easier the second time. And even easier the third and the fourth. Then in no time, it becomes second nature. It’s like that for kids learning to pray for the first time. There need to be a first time and here’s a ripple starting way to help them …

Step 1) Every Sunday look for kids to pray for and pray for them. You have to model loving to pray first.

Step 2) After praying ask “Do you want to pray for me”?

Step 3) If he says ‘yes’, guide them to a great praying time. If they say ‘no’, say “its okay, next time?”

Step 4) When next time comes, again pray for them before changing your script slightly and say ”Do you want to pray for me? I’ll help you?”

Helping kids be a minister isn’t natural but its possible when we are persistent.  So rise up to start kids praying and keep doing it until its second nature. You’ll just finding yourself having lots of fun starting more kids praying in your ministry.
