God wants to bless all of us, including our young children. "Dear God, please bless me in a great, big way " begins "The Prayer of Jabez for Little Ones" by Bruce Wilkinson and Melody Carlson, a board book written and illustrated especially for preschoolers to help them as they learn to pray and know God better - a loving and strong God who listens when they pray and keeps them safe.
we need more books that teach us about God! This book is a great step toward building a relationship with God.
Sweet prayer for small ones
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
It is hard to find meaningful prayer books for the smaller set. Most are too preachy or unrelated to "real life". This book does a good job of presenting the awesome Prayer of Jabez in a way little ones can not only understand but really grasp on to and incorporate into their prayer life. That's what I was hoping for and that's what I got.
Bless Me Indeed!

I absolutely love this book and highly recommend it. I'm teaching 2-5 yrs old during the summer in Sunday School and when I found this book, I knew this was it! I am actually ordering one for each member of my class because this is a prayer they can use their entire life. The person that gave this book a bad review needs to read the original Prayer of Jabez. There are blessings for us, if we just ask and I don't want to miss out on one! It explains it in terms that little ones can understand.
Excellent

We live in a world where children are often powerless, and it is so important to teach them that God loves them and wants to bless them. The prayer of Jabez isn't about selfishness, it's about recognizing that everything comes from God, and submitting oneself to His leadership in order to prosper.
Children learn how God is with them in their daily lives!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
This book has a straightforward approach in showing children, by example, how God can be with them in their daily lives. I really like the interaction of adding thought provoking questions for the children, which helps them internalize the love that God has for them. The pictures are creative and the thick cardboard pages make it easy for little children to grasp. I also hope that parents will get valuable insight from this message when they read this fulfilling book to their children!
