Good Night, God!
Daily Prayer Songs for Bedtime Examen
Based on
Good Night, God: A Family Liturgy for Bedtime Examen
What if we took the best of my morning prayer experience and combined it with the songs we were singing and stories we were reading at night? What if we made a durable, singable, board book, family liturgy?
-
It’s up to you!
We’ve used the resources in a few different ways based on our capacity at the moment.
We can just listen to the music and learn the songs. This is a great option when sitting down to read doesn’t feel possible.
We can listen to the songs and pray/read at the same time.
(Recommended) We can sing, pray, and read together with just the book.
Singing enables kids to take the prayers with them through their day. And to make the songs and prayer time even more accessible, families can sing the songs one time through instead of repeatedly like on the album.
Since children are particularly susceptible to distraction by screens, we encourage families to keep phones / recorded music separate from the daily prayer experience and rely more on memory when possible.
