Let’s be honest. For many kids, prayer feels awkward but video games? Those feel natural. Pick up a controller, press “start,” and they can disappear into a world of adventure for hours. No one has to remind them. No one has to motivate them. The game is calling, and they gladly answer.
But here’s the hard truth: while our kids are leveling up in Minecraft or racking up wins in Fortnite, their souls are often running on empty. Studies show that children can spend three to four hours a day on screens, but only a few minutes (if any) talking with God.
That imbalance should make us pause.
Think about it: If kids invested even a fraction of their game time into prayer, reflection, and conversation with God, how much stronger would their faith be? How much more grounded would they feel when life throws challenges their way? How much deeper would their relationship with their Creator become?
Why Prayer Matters More Than Play
Video games can sharpen reflexes, teamwork, or problem-solving. That’s not all bad! But only prayer nourishes the soul. Only prayer builds intimacy with God, shapes character, and gives kids the confidence that they are never alone.
Prayer equips kids to face fears, handle disappointments, and make wise choices. It doesn’t just “kill time” it transforms it. Video games can give quick rewards, but prayer cultivates eternal rewards.
And here’s the thing: kids don’t need to choose between play and prayer forever. But they do need adults parents, grandparents, leaders who will help them balance their priorities and remind them that talking to God should never be squeezed into the leftover minutes of the day.
Imagine This…
Imagine if prayer felt as natural to your child as picking up a gamepad. Imagine if, instead of only chasing digital victories, they woke up eager to ask God for guidance, thank Him for blessings, and intercede for friends in need.
That kind of prayer life doesn’t just “happen.” It needs structure. It needs a tool that makes prayer not only accessible, but engaging and fun.
