Prayer

Read the angel’s words in Luke 2:10–11:

“I bring you good news that will bring great joy to all people. The Savior—yes, the Messiah, the Lord—has been born today in Bethlehem, the city of David!”

What is the Good News of Jesus?

Jesus came into the world as a baby—then He grew up to die on the cross for our sins and rise from the grave so we can have new life. The Bible tells us that this Good News will bring great joy to all people. So today, let’s pray that God will help us share the Good News with those around us. As you mention various groups of people, have the children pray silently.

Dear Father, thank You for giving us Your Son, Jesus. Help us share the Good News with friends and family members who do not know You ...

We pray that as we give away our invitations, these people will want to come to church and hear the Good News …

We pray for neighbors on our street who need to know You …

We pray for teachers, nurses, doctors, firefighters, and police, and for those who work in the offices and shops in our community …

Thank You for bringing these people into our lives. Open our eyes to ways we can share the Good News with them. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Suggest that when the children walk and play in their neighborhoods, they should continue to pray for others and look for opportunities to put the SuperTruth into action: “I will tell others about Jesus, the gift of God.”
