BAM! How to Pray for Busy Moms and Kids

ByAsh Dion

If you’ve ever wondered if you could teach your kids how to pray with ease, then you’ll instantly fall in love with BAM! Many moms want to teach their children to pray but feel overwhelmed, unsure, or even unqualified. That’s exactly why I created BAM — Be Honest, Ask, Magnify.

BAM is a simple, easy-to-remember prayer framework that helps you—and your kids—connect with God daily. Instead of worrying about saying the “right” words or having the perfect devotion, BAM gives you a structure that encourages honesty, dependence on God, and gratitude.

Here’s how to pray with BAM!:

  • B — Be Honest: Share your true feelings with God. He knows your heart anyway!
  • A — Ask: Bring your needs, desires, and worries to Him. Nothing is too small or too big.
  • M — Magnify: Praise God for who He is and all He’s done. Celebrate Him together!

And here’s the best part: you don’t have to do this alone. My kids love shouting “BAM!” when it’s time to pray, and we even have a fun printable version for kids that they can hang on the wall or keep by their bedside. It’s colorful, interactive, and perfect for helping little ones see that prayer is exciting and personal.

Whether you use the full BAM guide for yourself, the kids’ printable, or both, this framework makes prayer approachable, joyful, and meaningful for the whole family.

Hi, I'm Ash. Mom of two, wife, and completely obsessed with Jesus. I grew up believing I was a good Christian, until watching my child suffer led to my faith unraveling. I was struggling to believe in God and walked away from Him for nearly three years. It wasn't until 2am in my son's hospital bed when I broke down, went to God, and my life has never been the same.
