How to Pray to Jesus (For Kids)
Praying to Jesus is like talking to a friend who loves you very much. You don’t need fancy words or to be in a special place—Jesus is always ready to listen!
Here’s a simple way to pray:
- Start by saying “Hi Jesus” or “Dear Jesus”
Just like starting a letter or a conversation. - Say thank you
You can thank Jesus for things like your family, food, your toys, or a fun day. - Ask for help
If you’re scared, sad, or someone you love is sick, you can tell Jesus and ask Him to help. - Say sorry
If you did something wrong, like being mean or not listening, you can say sorry to Jesus. He always forgives you when you mean it. - Tell Him you love Him
You can say, “I love You, Jesus,” and tell Him anything that’s in your heart. - End with “Amen”
“Amen” means “let it be so,” like saying “I really mean it!”
Example Prayer:
“Dear Jesus,
Thank you for my family and for my dog.
Please help me sleep well tonight and help Grandma feel better.
I’m sorry I got mad at my brother today.
I love You.
Amen.”
You can pray out loud or in your head—Jesus hears both!
