Prayer

Can anyone say our SuperTruth with their eyes closed?

Very good! “By faith, I will obey God.” God is the Creator of heaven and Earth, He is the one true God! When we read the Bible and see how God is always faithful to do what He says He will do, our faith is strengthened. By faith we can be like Noah and accomplish big things with God’s help. Try to put yourself in Noah’s place. What are some things that people may have said to Noah while he was building the ark?

Yet Noah had faith to believe that what God promised would really happen, and Noah did everything that God told Him to do—exactly the way God told him to do it! Now, think about this—Noah did not have the Bible to read about God to build his faith! That makes his obedience even more amazing! God surely strengthened him and encouraged him through the many years he worked on the ark!   

Read Hebrews 11:6:

And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to Him must believe that God exists and that He rewards those who sincerely seek Him.

God wants us to believe that He exists and He is pleased when we believe in Him. God is so pleased with our faith that He will bless our lives because of it! Because of his faith, Noah’s family was saved from the flood. By our faith, we are saved from our sins when we believe in God’s Son, Jesus. Faith is the key to pleasing God and living a life blessed by God!  

Let’s take some time to pray silently and thank God for giving us the Bible so we can strengthen our faith as we learn more about Him. Ask the children to consider if God has been asking them to obey Him in some area of their life and they have resisted.

Is there something that God wants you to do? Ask the children to obey God by faith and act on what He might be speaking to their heart.

Give the children some time to pray and then close in prayer: Dear God, thank You for sending us Your Word, the Bible, so we can read about who You are and all You have done on Earth! By doing this, our faith will grow and help us to obey You in all things. Noah obeyed You completely for many years building the ark, even though he did not fully understand. Help us have that kind of unwavering faith to trust You and do what You ask. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
