Prayer

Saul did not believe that Jesus was God’s Son until he met Jesus on the road to Damascus. Let’s focus our prayers today on our neighbors and friends who live on our road or street. Let’s pray that they will meet Jesus, and He can turn their lives into something brand new.

Let’s pray together: Father, we thank You for the people on our street and in our neighborhoods. We pray for any needs they may have or any challenges that they are facing. We especially pray that they would come to know You as we know You. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Tell the children to silently think of some people in their neighborhood and to pray for ways they can show the love of Jesus to them, showing kindness by helping them in some way. Suggest that when the children walk and play on their street or in their neighborhood, they continue to pray for others.

Jesus, we thank You that You came into the world to save sinners like us. Nothing that anyone has ever done is too terrible for You to forgive, if we will only ask You. Thank You for working in the lives of my neighbors and friends. In Your name we pray, Amen.
