Prayer

Have the children find places to sit down where they can pray alone.

As we just learned in our SuperVerse, God has good plans for each of us. If we trust Him through good and bad times, He will work out His plans for our good and His bigger purpose. It is not always easy to trust God when things seem to go wrong. That is why we need to take time every day to be alone with God and ask Him to give us the power of His Holy Spirit. He will give us His strength, patience and courage to follow His path and complete His plan. The Bible tells us that Jesus took time away from the crowds and His disciples to spend time alone with God. Jesus was the Son of God—so if He needed to pray, do you think we should, too? Yes!

Let’s take a few minutes now to pray with God, alone. Are there some things you don’t understand in your life? Do you need some direction and wisdom? Maybe things are going well and you just want to thank God. Take time right now to close your eyes and bow your head before God.

Give children time to pray alone and then close with prayer. 

Dear God, thank You that You have a wonderful plan for each of our lives. Help us to follow Your ways and trust Your plan. We praise You that we can always trust You to do what is best for us. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
