Jesus loves you so much! And when someone loves you, you want to
spend time with them. So it’s important that you spend time with Jesus
regularly. One very important thing that God wants you to do is set
apart time in your life and spend it with Him. Many people call this a
quiet time. A quiet time is a time for you to pray and learn about Jesus
by reading the Bible and memorizing verses from the Bible.
Your quiet time journal will help you love Jesus more and more by
teaching you how to have quiet times. In your quiet time journal are
five things that will help you with your quiet times:
Prayer Request List The Prayer Request List is a place for
you to write down or draw pictures of
the people that you want to pray for.
Bible Reading Plan The Bible Reading Plan is a place for
you to keep track of what you read in the
Bible.
Bible Memory Verses The Bible Memory Verses are a list of
verses that would be very helpful for you
to memorize.
Quiet Time Sheets The Quiet Time Sheets are a place for
you to write or draw what you learned
during your quiet time.
Quiet Time Chart The Quiet Time Chart is a place for you
to check off activities you completed
during your quiet time and a way for
your parents to reward you for having a
quiet time.
With your Quiet Time Journal, you are ready to start spending time
with Jesus through quiet times. The only other things you need are
a Bible and a pencil. Many people find it easy to have quiet times
in a ‘quiet’ place. So try and find a quiet place for you to have your
quiet time. This might be your bedroom or the family room while
everyone else is out of the room. Many people also find it very
helpful to have their quiet times at the same time everyday. So try
and find a time that works for you everyday. Finally, find a Bible
translation that you can easily understand. If you don’t understand
what you’re reading, you’re just wasting your time. Many children
find the New Living Translation very easy to understand. Below
are six easy steps to having a daily quiet time.
Follow these six easy steps to have a Quiet Time:
Step #1 Turn to a new Quiet Time Sheet and fill in the date.
Step #2 Turn to your Bible Reading Plan and read your
current daily Bible reading. When you’ve finished,
check off what you read on your Bible reading plan
so you know where you left off.
Step #3 Turn back to your Quiet Time Sheet, write down the
reference to the Bible passage you read, and then
write or draw what you read about in the Bible.
Step #4 Write down the verse that you are memorizing on
your quiet time sheet and work on it with someone.
Step #5 Take time to pray. Write or draw your prayers and
say them to Jesus.
[During your first quiet time, fill out your
prayer request sheet before praying. This
will help you with your prayers. Your prayer
request sheet is a great way to remember
people you want to pray for on a regular
basis.]
Step #6 Turn to your Quiet Time Chart and fill in the
activities that you completed during your quiet time.
Please have your parents read this: Hopefully, your child is very excited about having quiet times. And as a
parent, it is so important that you model and teach your children how to have
consistent quiet times. There is nothing more exciting for a parent than to see
their children loving God more and developing a relationship with Him. This
quiet time journal will provide your children with the skills needed to have
effective quiet times. This journal is intended for any age child, there are no
age requirements, the only requirement is a desire to love God and spend
time with Him. Even children that cannot read and write are capable of
having quiet times; they just need a little help from a parent.
For children that cannot read and write If your children are too young to read and write, that’s ok, they can still have
effective quiet times. They will just need some assistance from an adult. This
will require time on your part, but this is the best time investment you could
ever make with your children. The Quiet Time Sheets provided in this
journal will provide the framework for your child’s quiet time and your role
will be to guide them through the Quiet Time Sheet.
First, you will have to read the Bible reading to your child and fill in the
reference to the Bible passage you read at the top of the Quiet Time sheet.
Then, ask them to tell you what they learned about from the Bible reading for
that day. Feel free to ask some guiding questions about the passage to make
sure they understand what’s going on. Then, have them draw what they
learned about and/or you will need to write down what they tell you. Next,
you will need to teach them the memory verse and review it with them. If the
verse is too long for them, feel free to shorten it up and write down the verse
on the quiet time sheet. Finally, you will need to guide them in prayer.
[Before jumping into the prayer section of the Quiet Time Journal, you will
need to have your children draw pictures of the people they want to pray for
on the Prayer Request Sheet. This will help the children remember who to
pray for during their Quiet Times.] The Quiet Time Sheet walks the children
through the famous ACTS prayer (adoration, confession, thanksgiving, and
supplication). As you pray with them, you will need to encourage them and
help them draw in the appropriate places on the Prayer Request Sheet and/or
write down what they pray for.
Quiet times are possible for children that cannot read and/or write, they will
just need a little loving guidance from an adult. Feel free to tailor this journal
to the child’s ability level. Use a beginner’s Bible translation, shorten
readings, change the prayer, etc. The important thing is that children are
having a daily quiet time that helps develop their faith in Jesus.
For children that can read and write During your child’s first quiet time, make sure to go over everything
with them to make sure that they understand the concepts and everything
contained in the journal. Help them fill out the Prayer Request list during
their first quiet time. Also, help them pick out their first memory verse
and go over it with them. Explain each part of the journal to them and
why Christians partake in these activities. Most importantly, relate to
your child why prayer and Bible study are so important for their life.
The best thing you can do for children that can read and write on an
ongoing basis is to encourage them to have their quiet time each day and
then go over their quiet time sheet with them when they’re finished.
Going over the quiet time sheet with your children will provide a great
time to make sure your children know what they’re reading about and
also provide a chance for you to review their memory verses with them
and go over any questions they may have. Going over the quiet time
sheet will also provide opportunities for you to spiritually minister to
your children – which are some of the greatest moments for any parent.
This quiet time journal provides a good framework for quiet times, but if
it does not challenge your children enough feel free to move onto the
youth edition. Some children will move on quicker than others.
Rewarding your children Please reward your children for having a quiet time, they deserve it.
They’re doing something most Christian adults don’t even do. If you
reward them for making their bed, why not reward them for seeking the
Lord? Go over their quiet time sheets with them and help them fill out
their quiet time charts for all the activities that they completed.
The important thing is for you as the parent to choose the reward
(money, candy, clothes, etc.) and the frequency with which you reward
them (weekly, monthly, etc.). Make it a challenge, but also make it worth
it for your children. Reward them with something they want. Also, the
best reward you can give them is plenty of encouragement and praise. It
is the eventual goal that you can remove the reward and they will
continue having quiet times because they want to and recognize the
benefit it provides for their life.

A Special Note for Parents: Helping your children memorize the Word of God is one of the highest
callings of a parent/guardian. God’s Word is so powerful and needed in
our lives and your children will be blessed for having that Word in their
hearts and minds. The verses on these pages are some very foundational
verses, some are shortened and some are the full verse. If your child has
a hard time, shorten the verse; if they memorize very easily, look up the
full verse. Memorize these verses in any order and once you’ve
completed this list, there are thousands more to memorize!
Here are some helpful tips as you go over these with your children:
• Keep the time spent brief to hold the child's attention. This
should be enjoyable so if your child gets frustrated you can
easily try again later.
• Show your child where the verse is found in the Bible.
• Mark their Bible with a special color to identify verses they have
memorized.
• Say the book, chapter, and verse before and after the Scripture.
Recite the verse several times a day in your child's presence so it
becomes familiar to them.
• Create memorization games to help your children
remember these very important verses.
• Overall, remember to have fun while learning the verses!
