Free Philippians 4:6 Coloring Page – Present Your Requests to God

Description

This printable colouring page is centred on the verse Philippians 4:6 — “Present your requests to God.” It gives children a creative, faith-filled way to respond to worries or needs by colouring, reflecting and learning about prayer and thanksgiving. Perfect for children’s ministry, Sunday school, homeschool, quiet time or craft-time.

What’s inside

On this worksheet children will find:

• Large bold text of the phrase “PRESENT YOUR REQUESTS TO GOD. Philippians 4:6” — easy to colour and trace.

• A simple graphic of a child kneeling in prayer (or a symbolic figure) with rays or beams of light behind, indicating peace, divine presence or “requests reaching God”.

• Clean outlines and simple shapes (clouds, ground, background rays) suitable for young artists.

• Ample blank space so children can choose colours freely, add patterns, stickers or hand-draw additional elements if they like.

Why it’s useful

• Reinforces Scripture memory & meaning: The focus on Philippians 4:6 helps children learn about the idea of bringing their concerns to God instead of being anxious. For example, the verse says “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.”

• Encourages prayer, reflection & gratitude: Children can discuss what kinds of “requests” they might bring to God, how thankfulness changes how we think about problems, and how prayer connects them with God.

• Supports fine motor skills & creative thinking: Colouring, choosing palettes, adding designs — all help develop concentration, coordination and artistic expression.

• Versatile for different age groups:

  • Younger children: Simply colour and say the verse together.

  • Older children: Add a short journal prompt (“What might I ask God for this week?”) or write a thank-you note below the colouring.

• Integrates well in classroom, group or home settings: Use as part of a lesson on worry & faith (Philippians 4:6-7), or as a quiet activity during transitions or personal reflection time.

How to use it

1. Print the worksheet on standard A4 (or US letter) paper.

2. Introduce the verse: Read aloud Philippians 4:6 — “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.”

3. Colouring time: Let children choose colours for the figure, rays, background, letters. Encourage them to think quietly about a “request they might bring to God” or a “thank-you” they want to express.

4. Discussion or reflection prompt: After colouring, ask questions like:

   • What kinds of requests can we bring to God?

   • How does being thankful help us?

   • What happens when we turn our worry into prayer? (See that the verse pairs “do not be anxious” with the action of prayer)

5. Display or share: Hang the finished pages in the classroom, youth-room, or send home with children as a reminder of the verse and their prayer.

6. Optional extension:

   • Invite children to write a short “prayer request” on the back of the sheet (or on a separate slip) and deposit it in a “prayer box” or share in a group.

   • Use this sheet alongside a mini-lesson on worry-vs-trust: e.g., explore what Paul wrote about anxiety and prayer in his letter to the Philippians.

   • Encourage children to revisit the page later in the week and reflect: “What happened with my request?” or “How did I feel when I prayed?”
