Prayer

We will all face decisions in a moment of weakness as Peter did; and at times, we may fail. As we discussed earlier, this does not mean we don’t love Jesus, it means we are weak and make mistakes. Jesus knows what it means to face temptation as a human being. He can help us because He won against every temptation—He never sinned!

Let’s take a moment to close our eyes and you can silently ask God to help you with any weakness that you may experience. Maybe there is a particular temptation that you struggle with that you would like Jesus to help you have victory over. Allow time for children to pray silently. 

Close in prayer: Lord Jesus, thank You for hearing our prayers. We praise You that we don’t have to try to hide our weaknesses from You, because You made us, You know us, and You understand us. We have silently shared our weaknesses with You today; now we ask for Your power and strength so we can obey and serve You. In Your name we pray, Amen.
