At Prayer Saturated Life, we created the Prayer Saturated Gift Guide because we know gifts have the power to touch the hearts of our loved ones. What better way to inspire a relationship with Jesus than by giving a Prayer Saturated gift.

We want to make your gift-giving process a little easier and a bit more fun by suggesting our favorite gifts that inspire prayer, study, or even a prayer closet— in five major categories: Child, Loved One, Mama, Reader, and Teen.

With the Prayer Saturated Gift Guide, you’ll find an eclectic mix of gift ideas from big-box retailers to local small businesses we love.

Let’s go shopping!

The Prayer Saturated Gift Guide For the Child

Our Prayer Saturated Gift Guide starts with the youngest age group– which starts as young as a newborn and goes through several cognitive developmental stages, which can be extra tricky when it comes to understanding something as abstract as a God they can’t see… and not loop Him in with Santa Claus. Set prayer apart in your child’s life by creating environments and loveys in their everyday lives that keep thoughts of God near. Prayer with children requires intentionality and simplicity. Let these tools encourage play AND prayer.

For the Child

1. Lucado Treasury of Bedtime Prayers Great for bedtime

2. My Kid’s Prayer Journal: 100 Days of Prayer & Praise: Children’s Journal to Inspire Conversation & Prayer with God This simple structure is great for children learning to write – age 9.

3. Yoobi Kids 6 Pack Scented Gel Pens Scents are great for prayer because scents are known to spark a memory. These are so much fun for your little one. Accessorize their new prayer journal with matching pens. Maybe even add a cute pencil case like this one, and make a special place in the home just for prayer time. You can even call them their prayer pens!

4. Alpine House Wood Advent Calendar Use Christmas to give a treat, and write a special daily note to pray for.

5. My Very Own Play House Why not get your child a playhouse, but call it a ‘pray’ house! You can add items to the inside of the canvas, like this free child’s prayer map (we recommend you ask for two – one to hang, and one for the child to read with you), throw in a favorite stuffy, and help your child learn the power of prayer with focus in a special place.

6. Psalm Prayers for Kids: A 40-Day Prayer Journal Our kids LOVE this prayer journal. This is created with the intention of the study being done with an adult. This is a great practice for age 9-11. Those younger may also enjoy it, but it is a true study. Not for the distracted!

7. Pocket Prayer Teddy Bear This pocket Bear is a great way to share prayers for your little one, whether near or far. Fill the pocket with a prayer, then take it out and pray it with your child.

The Prayer Saturated Gift Guide For the Teen

Teens are great at praying. We find that teens are externally motivated more than any other age group, which is why inspiring a beautiful environment for prayer is at the top of our list in encouraging prayer. The Prayer Saturated Gift Guide makes it comfortable, makes it focused, and makes it aesthetically pleasing. This is quite obviously geared for a teen girl, but many of these items could be adapted in color or style and have the same effect on a teen boy. Top tip: Boys cannot be trusted with burning candles. 😉

All about the environment

Great for a teen who shares a room or doesn’t have a large enough closet to create a place of solitude for prayer.

4. Checkered Lamp Help your teen decorate their room to set the atmosphere for spending time with the Lord. We want them to create an environment where they want to pray and read their Bible. This is a great start.
