A note to parentsThis Quiet Time is a great opportunity to help your child develop a relationship with God. Enjoy having fun with your child as you explore the Bible together. Each day lists a Scripture passage for you to read to your child. Next, you share the instructions for one of the many learning activities that will help your child develop key skills as they learn. Finally, you read the I Can Pray section to your child as you begin to teach them how to pray. What a wonderful time you will share with each other as you have a quiet time together.

Here are some tips to help your child with their quiet time:

1. Have a pencil and crayons available for activities.

2. Sit down together at a regular time each day.

3. Use the Bible to look up references with your child.

4. Talk through the activity and personal application.

5. Complete the week by documenting how many days were completed and writing an encouraging note.

Family Devotions

Word of Life publishes a Quiet Time for all age groups. Each Quiet Time uses the same Scripture passage for the week. This makes it easier for your whole family to discuss the Word of God together.

God loves you and wants to spend time with you!

Parent’s Note: Read this section to your child.

A quiet time is a special time that you have each day to learn more about God and how He wants you to live. During this time, God speaks to you through His Holy Word, the Bible, and you speak to God through prayer. What an exciting adventure! Having this time every day with God will help you grow closer to Him.

Your Quiet Time will help you have this time each day with God. Every day you will have a Bible verse read to you. After you listen to the verse, there is a fun activity for you to do. Then you can spend a special time with God in prayer.
