Prayer

Who remembers our SuperTruth?

Very good! Let’s say it together as a group: “Our heavenly Father is always ready to forgive.”

Think about the word “always.” What does that mean to you? Every time, at any time, continuously, forever.

How does that make you feel—to know that when you come to God in prayer, He is always there and ready to forgive you?

The father in the video was watching and waiting to forgive his son who had wasted all of his inheritance. Jesus wants us to see our heavenly Father like that—not waiting to punish us or turn us away, but to lovingly forgive us when we sin and to welcome us back with open arms!   

Have children find a place in the room where they can pray alone. Ask each child to think of wrong things they have thought or done that they would like their heavenly Father to forgive. Tell them that we cannot hide anything from God, and He is ready and waiting for us to come to Him so He can forgive us and remove any of the condemnation or shame that we might be feeling.

After a few minutes, close in prayer: Dear God, Help us to always see You as a God and Father who will love us and forgive us no matter what we do. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
