Prayer

Our SuperTruth says, “Jesus is always with me.” Do you wonder if Jesus is with you sometimes? Can you share why?

Yes, the main challenge is that we don’t see Jesus with our eyes like the disciples did. Jesus was in human form on Earth—He was flesh and blood—but He is now Spirit. This is what Jesus wanted the disciples to understand when He left Earth, that though they couldn’t see Him standing beside them, He was still with them—inside their hearts.   

Read John 20:29:

Then Jesus told him, “You believe because you have seen Me. Blessed are those who believe without seeing Me."

Jesus said this to His disciple Thomas, shortly after Jesus rose from the dead. Thomas knew Jesus had died, and he was having a hard time believing he was really seeing Jesus, alive again. Jesus allowed Thomas to touch His wounded side and hands that were pierced by the nails on the cross, then Thomas believed. Let me read that verse again:

Read John 20:29:

Then Jesus told him, “You believe because you have seen Me. Blessed are those who believe without seeing Me.” 

We are some of the blessed people Jesus is talking about in this verse, because we have not seen Him with our eyes but believe by faith that He is here with us in Spirit!

Today, we are going to thank Jesus for always being with us and never leaving us. Remember, as our Bible verse says, blessed are those who don’t see Jesus, but still believe! Now, please bow your head and close your eyes, and we will each have a chance to say a short thank-You prayer to Jesus. If you are not sure what to say, just say, “Thank You, Jesus” or “I believe.”

Go around the circle and allow each child to say a short prayer, then close in prayer.

Dear Jesus, we believe in You even though we can’t see You with our eyes. Thank You that You live in our hearts. Bless each believer here today and make Your presence real to them. Thank You that we can have peace, knowing that we are not alone because You are with us as we walk through each day. In Your name we pray, Amen.

If you have never asked Jesus to be your Savior and would like to do that today, please talk to me after class. I would love to pray with you!
