I Am the Lord's: A Lectio Divina Journal for Kids

“I Am the Lord's" is an easy-to-use tool to grow in your child(ren) a habit and love for praying with Scripture.  The chaos of the world, the flesh, and the devil clamors to lie to tell our child(ren) who they are. Conversely, in the silence of intimate prayer, God waits to remind our child(ren) of who they truly are in Him. “I am the Lord’s.” (Isaiah 44:5) Our best selling lectio divina journal for kids, A Light & A Lamp, was so popular, we've created a second edition to guide your child(ren) on a path of conversation with God about WHO they truly are in His eyes. This simple truth is woven throughout Sacred Scripture, where God reveals who He is and who we are as His children. Lectio divina is an ancient practice rooted in the early Church. The purpose is to pray with Scripture, allowing the Lord to speak to us through His Word. As Saint Jerome reminds us, “When we read Scripture, God speaks to us.” This is the method employed by saints throughout the history of the Church! We made this lectio divina journal for kids ages 8-18. Each spread walks the child through the four movements of lectio divina: Lectio (Reading) Meditatio (Meditation) Oratio (Prayer) Contemplatio (Contemplation) With intentional, repetitive prompting questions, the child will build the habit of prayerful reflection on the Word of God and begin to recognize His voice in their life.. What to Expect: We provide 40 carefully-selected Scripture passages for them that engage the imagination and lend themselves well to this prayer. Then, we leave them 20 blank pages for them to select their own Scripture passage with which to pray!  The journal is meant for boys and girls. It has a vegan leather cover, thick interior pages that stand up to pens and highlighters, and a satin gold ribbon for place holding. It is the perfect meaningful Christmas, birthday, Easter basket, or Confirmation gift!   Want one for yourself, too?! Check out our bundle with the women's journal!
