Prayer

To begin today’s prayer time, let’s say the SuperTruth aloud together: “I can be a hero for God.”

Raise your hand if you would like to be a hero. Children respond.

The heroes in Chris’ virtual video game were cool and exciting but they weren’t real. Each and every one of us can be a real hero in God’s eyes.

Can you remember from today’s teaching what is most important to being a hero in God’s eyes? To love, honor and obey God; to trust Him and rely on His power.

Being a hero in God’s eyes doesn’t always mean doing something big that other people notice and celebrate. Noah simply obeyed God. He consistently and faithfully followed God’s instructions and Word. He did this day after day for years, even when others made fun and criticized him. Noah continued to serve God.

In our prayer time today, let’s close our eyes and bow our heads. If you sincerely want to obey God, serve Him, and be a hero for Him, you can join me in the prayer. I am going to pray part of a sentence ending with the word “so,” then you say today’s SuperTruth: “I can be a hero for God.”

Dear God, thank You for equipping me with the power of Your Holy Spirit, so … “I can be a hero for God.”

Please give me Your strength and courage each day to follow the path You have for me, so … “I can be a hero for God.”

Help me to honor You with my actions, thoughts and words, so … “I can be a hero for God.”

Help me to always be ready to share the love of Jesus, so … “I can be a hero for God.”

In Jesus’ powerful name we pray, Amen.
