When my children were just toddlers, the Lord told me, “You think you have 18 years to grow them up into My arms, but you really only have a few. In the first few years of their lives they will lean on you like you lean on Me. But when they reach around age 10 or 11, they will begin to lean on something or someone else. That Someone must be Me!”
That was such a fear-of-the-Lord moment, I rushed to put a Bible time together for us to do everyday. We just read through the Word, memorized verses, etc.
But the Lord also led me to open up special times just to ask Him questions and listen for His answers. So many thoughts run through our heads every day, some that bring healing and life, and some that hurt and lead to sin. I wanted our kids to know the difference between Truth and lies.
In these books are the strategy we used to train up our little ones in listening to the Lord and following His lead. They’re now in their 20s and loving Jesus with all their hearts. Praise God!
Our recommendations:
- Use LISTEN TO ME as a family read aloud, talking about the verses, and practicing recognizing Truth.
- Then use the LISTEN TO ME PRAYER JOURNAL to write down what Jesus is saying to your kids so they won’t forget and can look back on it. There’s room to draw a picture, as well. So, if your kids are super little, you can write it, and they can draw a picture.
- The EVERY DAY WITH JESUS PRAYER JOURNAL goes with pages 70-103 in Listen to Me. This is a special daily diary for your kids who love to write and draw. It provides room for them to hand Jesus their day in the morning, follow Love’s lead through the day, and then at night write down their adventures with Jesus.
