When my kids were growing up, we did Bible Road Trip™ each morning, reading and studying through the Bible nearly four times together before they graduated from high school.
We also read a book about biblical living or theology together each day. Once my children became teens, many of the Christian living books I used were adult books. After all, I wanted them to develop a grown-up faith!
Your teens can learn about eight types of biblical prayer, straight from prayers in the Bible, with the 60-day devotional I wrote, 60 Scriptures You Can Pray.
Teaching Teens to Pray
Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. – Philippians 4:5-7
There are several spiritual disciplines we must help our teens develop if we want them to become strong in their faith. Reading the Bible, memorizing Scripture, and praying are all daily habits we can help our young men and women establish.
Sometimes, it is hard to know what to pray, even for mature adult Christians. It can be even harder for our teens to pray, as they work to find the words and thoughts to express to our wonderful God. That’s why it is so important that we teach our teens to pray God’s words back to him.
My prayer devotional, 60 Scriptures You Can Pray, covers eight types of prayer from the Bible, the expectations we should have when we pray, and the right heart attitude for prayer.
60 Scriptures You Can Pray features prayers of:
- Praise | We adore God for who he is.
- Thanksgiving | We thank God for all he has done.
- Confession | We admit our sin to the God who saves us.
- Supplication | We humbly ask God to provide for our needs.
- Intercession | We ask God to meet the needs of others.
- Deliverance | We cry out to God for help in times of trouble.
- Lament | We bring our sorrow to God, our comforter.
- Guidance | We ask for God’s help in determining his will for our lives.

The Bible is full of prayer that you can pray too!
How do you pray when you don’t know what to say? The Bible holds the answer.
God doesn’t expect us to pray without guidance. In fact, Scripture is full of examples of ordinary people approaching our extraordinary God in prayer.
Award-winning author Danika Cooley believes that praying God’s Word teaches us how to best communicate with our Lord:
“There are so many lessons we can learn from Scripture about how to approach God and what to expect when we do.”
