Story
Say: Do you pray? How do you pray? (take some answers) What do
you pray about? (Take answers) In today’s story we will see what Jesus had
to say when his disciples asked him to teach them how to pray
Read “The Lord’s Prayer” in any children's story Bible (or read Matthew 6:5-15).
Lesson
Say: The Lord’s Prayer is
something we can always pray, but it also shows us how to pray – we can use our
own words and still pray the same way.
'Our Father in heaven, hallowed is your name' - It's always
good to begin by worshipping God and focusing our hearts on him in some way
'Your
will be done on earth as it is in heaven' -
What would you like to ask God to do? For example, do you have a friend who is ill;
who we could pray will get better? Have you
seen God answer any prayers?
'Give
us today our daily bread' - Do you thank God for your
lunch? Which foods are your favorite ones? Which food would you most like to
thank God for?
‘Forgive
us our sins' - Do we remember to say sorry
when we've done something wrong? Did we say sorry to God?
We
pray to God to honor Him, to say thank you, and to ask for help.
Big
Idea
We pray to God honor him, to say
thank you, and to ask for help.
