Jesus Taught Us How to Pray

Inspired by the Lord's Prayer in Matthew 6:5:13

When Jesus Christ was on the earth,

He taught us how to pray.

I can pray, just like He taught,

every single day!

I thank God for my blessings,

then ask for what I need.

God wants to hear about my day!

He loves me much indeed.

I end my prayer in Jesus’s name.

I’m glad He showed the way.

Jesus taught us many things—

He taught us how to pray!


pray

with

senses

Are you ready for an exciting, multi-sensory prayer journey?

Follow the prompts below to engage God with all five senses!

Wrap yourself in a soft blanket.

Enjoy its warmth for a few moments.

In what ways does this make you

think of God? Write your thoughts and

feelings as a prayer here.

Think of a special memory and draw

it here. As you're looking at your

picture, tell God as many details of

that special experience as you can

remember.

Listen to a family member tell their story

of when God became real and personal

to them, or when God answered their

prayer. Write here what miracle you

want God to do for you.

Go through your house and find 3

nice-smelling things. Enjoy them for

a few moments. In what ways do

these smells make you think of God?

Write your thoughts as a prayer here.

FINDING

BINGO

In the eyes of God, there is no prayer too small or insignificant.

Hey, Max!

I can’t find Bingo,

my elephant!

What's wrong?

I’ll help you look.

We’ll never find him.

Let’s ask God

for help.

Hmm . . .

Heavenly Father,

please help us

find Bingo.

- 6 -


Max! Look!

You found him!

Let’s say a prayer to

say thank you.

Now there’s one more

thing we should do.

Heavenly Father,

thank you for helping us

find Bingo.

Can I play too?

God

cares about

what we

care about!

We can

pray to Him

anytime,

anywhere,

about

anything.

ACTION POEM

Talking to My Heavenly Father

I don’t talk to Him

on a telephone . . .

Or on a computer

screen.

I simply say a prayer

and know that I am

heard and seen.

He cares about my life

on Earth.

He guides me from

above.

And when I talk to Him

in prayer, I always feel

His love.

FAITH IN REAL LIFE

Don't Give Up on God!

Sometimes, when our prayers don't get answered right away, we may be tempted to quit.

Resilience means not giving up, even when something is hard. It means trying again after you mess up or

moving forward when bad things happen.

THINK OF A TIME WHEN YOU WANTED TO GIVE UP BUT DIDN’T!

Write your story here:

Mark how you felt about your goal

when it was hard in one color.

Mark how you feel about it now

in a different color.

CONFUSED

DISAPPOINTED

HOPEFUL

MAD

What I was learning:

GRATEFUL

DETERMINED

PROUD

EXCITED

Why I’m glad I didn’t give up:

- 11 -

keep on praying and never give up!

Growing Tall and Strong

check out psalm 1 to find out how you can be like a tree.

You are like a tree, growing taller

and stronger every day! On the roots,

draw or write the names of people, places,

and things that help you feel loved. On the

branches and trunk, draw pictures or write

words that describe the kind of person

you want to become.

FAITH IN REAL LIFE

GOD'S

amazing

LOVE

Which example shows love?

Saying, "I love you."

Stopping a firing squad from shooting a

man, and than taking his place.

Obviously, the second example shows love. The

first example is just someone saying some

words.

God proved His love for us.

He doesn't just sit up there in heaven and say

"I love you" all day long. No, He came down and

lived among us in the person of Jesus. He died

for our sins. And through His Spirit, He lives in

us and guides us every day.

That kind of love should get only one response.

What's yours?

The beautiful news about God's amazing love is

called the Gospel. Can you think of any friends

that you could share the Gospel with?

As you color the picture on the next page, pray

for your friend who hasn't accepted Jesus yet.
