Children's Church Lesson: The LORD's Prayer

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.

Memory Verse
22 You can pray for anything, and if you have faith, you will receive it.” – Matthew 21:22
