Prayer is an important part of a child’s spiritual development. Through prayer, children learn to turn their hearts toward God, express gratitude, and develop qualities such as love, kindness, and patience.
Prayers for Memorization
Prayers for Memorization
Throughout the 24 lessons, children gradually learn and memorize a selection of prayers that nurture a love for prayer and strengthen their connection with God.
Each prayer card is designed to support memorization and can be used for recitation, reflection, and practice during children's classes or at home. The accompanying songs provide a joyful way to help children learn and remember each prayer.
You will find many more children's songs on the Songs page.
O God, guide me
O God! Educate
I am a little child.
Make Thy beauty
Rear this little babe
Healing
These lovely children
Twigs of the tree
Refresh and gladden
Like unto a pearl
Blessed is the spot
Enable me to grow

Learning to Pray with Reverence
Learning to Pray with Reverence
In this video, children learn about prayerfulness through the inspiring story of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá and Mr. M. As the story unfolds, children discover that prayer is more than simply saying words—it is a time to quiet the mind, focus the heart, and become aware that we are standing in the presence of God. The video also encourages children to approach prayer with reverence, love, and attentive hearts, making it a meaningful resource for both children's classes and family devotionals.

How Children Pray Around the World
In this short film, the director shows us how five children with different religions pray every day. You see children from around the world, carefully pull on their best clothes and get ready to go to their houses of worship. They have different religions (Muslim, Jewish, Hindu, Buddhist and Christian), but when they pray, they look quite similar. It’s a beautiful piece of art about spiritual reflection.
