Kidmin Covenant #01: The Priority of Prayer

Membership Level Starter

Author/Source: Karl Bastian

Topic: Prioritizing Prayer

“Pray first.” It sounds so simple—yet when the demands of ministry and life pull us in a hundred different directions, that single command can transform our day.
Now available: The Kidmin Covenant Reflective Guide!

As a children’s ministry leader, I recognize the incredible privilege and responsibility of shaping young hearts for Jesus. I cannot do this in my own strength. That’s why I commit to a daily walk with God that fuels both my personal life and public ministry. This covenant outlines the values and habits I strive to live by—rooted in Scripture, empowered by grace, and aimed at pleasing the Lord above all. My desire is to be inwardly healthy so that I can be outwardly fruitful. These 12 commitments are intentional choices to keep my heart soft, my hands diligent, and my focus faithful to Christ.

Covenant Commitment #1:

I will start each day in prayer—first for my own walk with God, then for my family, and finally for my ministry.

Before we answer to anyone else—our boss, our team, the parents, or even the kids—we must remember who we ultimately serve: the Lord. We aren’t just clocking in for another day of tasks. We are ambassadors of the King. 

That’s why how we start our day matters so much.
