Prayer

Yes Prayers: Communicate with God.

Have children stand in a large circle as you speak.

The SuperTruth today tells us the wonderful news that Jesus fulfilled God’s plan of salvation. The well-known Bible verse of John 3:16 (NKJV) declares:

In the Garden of Eden, after Adam and Eve sinned, God promised that He would send a Savior to save us from Satan and sin. Jesus came to earth to show us God’s love, to die on the cross, and to offer us God’s gift of salvation. He fulfilled the promise that God made so long ago. So, if that is completed, what is our part? Is there anything we must do?

Did you hear something that we must do in John 3:16 that we just read? We must believe in Jesus.

Yes, AMEN! According to John 3:16, our part in God’s plan of salvation is simply to believe in what Jesus already did so long ago. This shows that we accept God’s wonderful gift. In other words, we say YES or AMEN to Him. We believe His plan is secure and true!

Today, we will say a prayer to accept God’s plan of salvation and the powerful gift of Jesus into our hearts.

If you believe in Jesus and would like to receive salvation through Him, please close your eyes and bow your head. Repeat this prayer after me:

Say each line slowly and allow time for the children to repeat it after you.

Dear Lord Jesus, I’m so glad God sent You into the world
To keep His promise and show us His love.
Please forgive me for all the things I have done wrong.
Thank You for dying on the cross for my sins.
Come into my heart and help me live for You.
Today, I receive Your gift of forgiveness,
I receive Your gift of salvation,
I receive Your gift of eternal life,
And I say, "Yes and Amen," to God’s plan!
Amen.

If you have never said a prayer like this before, please come up to me after class so we can talk more about receiving this special gift from God.
