Potter Prayers: Communicate with God.

In our prayer time today, we are going to place ourselves in God’s hands and acknowledge that He is the potter and we are the clay. By doing this, we submit to His will and His plan for us. We also give Him permission to mold us, shape us, and transform us according to His good pleasure.

He doesn’t totally change us in an instant. It’s a daily choice to place ourselves in God’s hands so He can shape us and mold us to become all that He wants us to be.

Let’s close our eyes and bow our heads. Let’s all hold out our hands and imagine putting our lives into God’s loving hands. First, silently thank Him for creating you for a wonderful purpose. Allow children time to pray.

Next, silently ask God to forgive you for anything that you have done wrong and to remove any flaws and sins from your life. Allow children time to pray.

Now, ask Him to shape your life for His purposes and His glory. Ask Him to use you to share His love and His truth with the world. Allow time for children to pray.

Pray: Dear God, You are the potter, and we are Your clay. As we daily place ourselves in Your hands, transform us to be more like Jesus. In Jesus’ name we pray, amen.
