Your Family Can Pray. With Confidence. Starting Today.

Prayer is one of the most important things in the Christian life — and one of the things that families most struggle to do well together. Children have genuine questions: Who am I actually talking to? Can God really hear me? What do I even say? Parents have real challenges: How do I lead this in a way that holds everyone's attention? How do I help my children pray rather than just sit through a prayer?

Any Time, Any Place, Any Prayer Family Bible Devotional by Katy Morgan is designed to answer both — and to do it in ten minutes.

Based on the storybook by Laura Wifler, this 15-session devotional is an opportunity to open your children's eyes to the presence and power of prayer in the Bible, as well as to help them learn how to confidently pray any time, any place. It takes families on a journey through the whole story of prayer in Scripture — from the garden of Eden to the new creation — in short, engaging, easy-to-lead sessions that are genuinely fun for children aged 5–11.

From the Garden to the New Creation — The Full Story of Prayer

What makes this devotional distinctive is its canonical scope. Rather than offering a collection of tips and techniques for prayer, it roots prayer in the whole biblical story — showing children that prayer is not a religious exercise humans invented but the natural expression of a relationship that God himself initiated, sustained, and is bringing to its glorious completion.

The devotional traces the arc of redemptive history through fifteen sessions that move from creation to consummation: The Society for Old Testament Study

A Beautiful Garden — Adam and Eve talking with God face to face in Eden
Spoiled — what the fall did to that relationship and why prayer became necessary
God Always Hears Us — the Old Testament witness to God's faithfulness in hearing his people
Thank You! / Please! / Sorry! / Help! — the different forms of prayer the Old Testament teaches
The Son Who Never Sinned — Jesus as the perfect pray-er, praying in perfect relationship with the Father
Jesus and His Father — what the prayers of Jesus reveal about the nature of prayer
Jesus' Model Prayer — the Lord's Prayer unpacked for families
Closer Than Ever — the new covenant and what it means for prayer
Back Together / Face to Face — the new creation and the prayer relationship fully and permanently restored
In the Meantime… / Knowing God's Nearness — prayer in the present age, between resurrection and new creation

The gospel is woven throughout this devotional, starting with the garden on day 1 and ending with the topic of God's Nearness on day 15. Children do not just learn techniques for prayer — they discover the whole story that gives prayer its meaning and its confidence. Amazon UK

Ten Minutes. Fifteen Sessions. Genuinely Manageable.

One of the most common reasons families give for not doing devotions is time — the sense that anything meaningful will take longer than the family can realistically sustain on a regular basis. Any Time, Any Place, Any Prayer is designed with this reality in mind.

Each session is built to work in approximately ten minutes — long enough to be substantive, short enough to hold the attention of children aged 5 and to fit into the rhythms of a real family evening. The devotions are easy to lead and fun to do — written so that any parent or carer can pick them up and lead them without preparation or specialist knowledge. Christian Focus

What Each Session Includes

Every one of the fifteen devotions follows a consistent structure that makes it easy to lead and easy to engage with:

A short opening prayer — setting the tone and orienting the family toward God before the session begins
A starter question — warming up the conversation and drawing children in with a question they can actually answer
A short Bible passage, printed in full — so no Bible needs to be found; the text is right there on the page
Two questions about the passage — helping children understand what they have read
A short explanation that can be read aloud — providing the teaching content in a form that any parent can deliver
Two reflection questions — one simpler, one requiring more thought; pick the one that fits your children
A prayer idea — a practical prompt for actually praying together in response to what has been learned
An optional deeper section — for older or more confident children who are ready to go further

In addition, the devotional includes simple creative reflection ideas, bonus puzzles, and colouring activities — giving younger children ways to engage with the material beyond the discussion questions.

Beautifully Illustrated by Catalina Echeverri

The devotional features the vibrant, warm, and emotionally expressive illustrations of Catalina Echeverri — the acclaimed illustrator of the Tales That Tell The Truth series and one of the most beloved illustrators in Christian children's publishing. Her artwork throughout the devotional gives it a visual warmth and delight that makes it genuinely enjoyable to pick up and work through.

Works Alongside — or Independently of — the Storybook

The devotional is based on the storybook by Laura Wifler, co-founder of Risen Motherhood, but it is not necessary to own the storybook in order to enjoy the devotional. Families who already own Any Time, Any Place, Any Prayer — the storybook — will find the devotional a perfect companion, taking them deeper into the prayer themes the storybook introduces. Families who come to the devotional first will find it completely self-contained and immediately usable. Amazon UK
