PRAISE: Praise is saying what you love about someone. You’ve got five fingers and we’ve got five parts of prayer. As long as your hands go home with you today (please tell me they will!) you should remember our lesson.
Bible study on prayer how to#
Today our hands are going to help us learn how to pray. (Repeat each component at least once, if not twice to ensure retention.) Do any of you like to talk with your hands? (Mimic people who talk with their hands: chefs, airline stewardesses, tour guides, photographers, pastors, etc.) Keep it simple or else you won’t keep doing it. Write down praises, prayer requests, and verses that mean a lot to you. (Have children pretend like they are writing.) Ask a grown-up who knows Jesus for help if you need it.
Try to understand what God is saying to you. If you’re up for the challenge, read one chapter a day. (Have children place hands palm side up as if holding a Bible.)
Sit under a table, go in your closet if it’s big enough, make a fort, whatever! L: LEARN from God’s Word.

Turn the TV off, your music off, and find a way to escape from your little brother. Quiet: (Have children take a deep breath with you.)įind a quiet place in your home. Ya’ll brush your teeth, right? A: AHHHHHH…. Make it a habit, like brushing your teeth. (Write out the word TALK as an acrostic on a whiteboard/chalkboard.) T: TAKE the TIME: (Have children point to a pretend watch on their wrist.)įind time in your day to talk to God. Remember that it’s as simple as talking to someone you love. We might think our problems are too small.) Why is it important to talk with God? We might question whether God is really listening. We don’t see Him all the time so we forget. So if talking to people is easy and we do it all the time, why is it so hard to spend time talking with God? We also make sure people can reach us wherever we are. Talking with people is important to us! We make sure that we can call others whenever we want. How many of your parents have cell phones? Do they get upset if they lose their phones?.Who do you like to talk to and what about?.Do any of you talk on the computer with emails, IM, or Skype?.Does anyone here like to talk on the phone?.That might be a good activity to add to this Bible lesson. We’ve also posted some prayer coloring pages for kids. You could also add some additional content for a children’s church lesson. What I’ve written below would be a 15-20 minute presentation, but you can extract the main points for a children’s sermon on Sunday morning. It teaches the basic elements of prayer and encourages children to establish prayer as a habit in their own lives. This children’s message was originally written for a Christian School chapel of 1st – 6th graders.
