Prayer

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

Have you ever had doubts that God was real? Have you ever heard someone say God did not exist? Believing in God takes faith because we cannot see Him with our eyes. Most believers have had doubts at some time in their lives because doubt is all around us. Noah kept his faith in God even though the entire world around him didn’t honor the Lord! When we choose to listen to God rather than to the world, God will reward us!

Read Colossians 2:6–7:

And now, just as you accepted Christ Jesus as your Lord, you must continue to follow Him. Let your roots grow down into Him, and let your lives be built on Him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness.

We want our faith to grow strong! The truth is that God is real. When we believe that truth and live to please the Lord—no matter what others may do—our faith will grow stronger, and God will bless us. Let’s take some time right now to pray silently.

Have them be truthful as they pray, sharing any doubts or struggles they may be facing. Have them ask God to reveal truth to them to strengthen their faith.

Close in prayer: Dear God, thank You for being real, for hearing our prayers, and for answering us when we pray. I ask You to reveal Yourself in a special way to each child today. Please strengthen their faith, and help them to turn to You in times of doubt or struggle. Thank You for sending Your Son Jesus to die for us so we can live a new life that is pleasing to You. In His name we pray, Amen.
