God hears the prayers of the little ones. Through them, the whole family can draw closer to God, seeking a life of peace and transformation. For this, it is essential that our children learn to communicate with God from an early age and pray daily with their families. We have prepared simple prayers to inspire your devotional time with the little ones.
