It\u2019s a great question, and it\u2019s a dumbfounding reality, especially for parents who can hardly hear everyone\u2019s requests as they\u2019re yelling across the room and respond to all of those requests. It\u2019s overwhelming\u2014except we\u2019re not God, and God is omnipresent. He is everywhere all the time.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s so hard to comprehend, and it will be hard for our kids to comprehend too. But perhaps we can illustrate this for them. Perhaps we can pull up a world map and say, <em>Is God in Texas right now? Is God in Zimbabwe right now? Is he in France right now?<\/em> Yes, yes, yes. The answer is yes because God is everywhere all the time.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product-placement list-item clear\">\n<div class=\"product-placement-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.crossway.org\/books\/god-hears-me-bb\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.crossway.org\/studio-files\/media\/e2741d0a34b594062f4dd668e1548dabcdfda622.jpg\" alt=\"God Hears Me\"\/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"post-excerpt\">\n<h3><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.crossway.org\/authors\/kristen-wetherell\/\">Kristen Wetherell<\/a><\/em><\/h3>\n<p class=\"copy-excerpt\">As a part of the For the Bible Tells Me So series\u2014designed to immerse kids ages 0\u20134 in the gospel\u2014this board book teaches children how to pray during every life circumstance and find comfort in Christ.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>This encourages us as parents, not only as we pray for our kids but as we send them out into the world. Our kids can know that when they\u2019re in their dark rooms at night and they\u2019re feeling alone, God is with them. He hears their prayer when they\u2019re at school, feeling nervous, feeling sad.<\/p>\n<p>God is with them. He hears their prayer. And so as we talk to our kids about God being omnipresent, we can say he\u2019s everywhere all the time. We can encourage them to talk to him because the God who is holy, the God who is big, who is everywhere all the time, hears their prayers. And this will encourage them to pray no matter where they are.<\/p>\n<p><em>Kristen Wetherell is the author of<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crossway.org\/books\/god-hears-me-bb\/\">God Hears Me<\/a>.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"clear\"\/>\n<div class=\"blog-post-author clear\">\n<p>          <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"left\" src=\"https:\/\/static.crossway.org\/authors\/small\/3299.jpg\" alt=\"Kristen Wetherell\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"author-bio\">\n<p><strong>Kristen Wetherell<\/strong> is a wife, mother, writer, and speaker.
