Write on the board:

I praise God for saving me.

I praise God for healing me.

I praise God for _______. 

Praise Prayers: Communicate with God.

Have children sit in a circle.

Jeremiah was surrounded by people who had turned their hearts away from God to worship idols and put their trust in human strength. Jeremiah was sent by God to warn them about His coming judgment if they didn’t turn back to Him. In Jeremiah 17:7–8, God encouraged His prophet.

7 “But blessed are those who trust in the LORD and have made the LORD their hope and confidence. 8 They are like trees planted along a riverbank, with roots that reach deep into the water. Such trees are not bothered by the heat or worried by long months of drought. Their leaves stay green, and they never stop producing fruit.”

Jeremiah’s hope and confidence were focused on God alone. This is why he declared that God alone was worthy of his praises!      

In this time of prayer, we will go around the circle and give everyone an opportunity to praise God for something. On the board are three short praise sentences to help you. Or, you can thank God in your own words. Remember, you can thank God in advance by faith for something you ask Him to do—even when you have not seen the results yet!  

Begin the prayer and then have the child next to you follow in prayer. Continue in one direction until all children have had a chance to praise God.

Let’s pray. Dear God, when we place our hope and confidence in You, we will never be disappointed. No one else can truly heal us and save us. Our praises are for You alone! In Jesus’ name we pray, amen!
