Fall Prayer Ideas
Fall Prayer Ideas
Prayer Petitions....making our requests to God for ourselves. This is different from intercession, which presents requests to the Lord for others. Through the practise of journaling , hopefully the children will learn that they have God's attention all the time. God doesn't want them to carry the weight of their problems and worries around with them. God invites them to come with prayers of petition and to unload their burdens !
Petition Booklets
Materials needed: one piece 11 by 17 coloured construction paper & 8 pieces blank white 8.5 by 11 paper per child, a printout of the words "My Petition Book" for each child, stapler, markers, crayons, magazines, scissors, & glue.
Instructions: Staple books together for
each child ahead of time, folding the coloured sheet to be the covers.Instruct
the kids to cut out the book title & glue on the front. On each page, have
the kids print a letter of the word, PETITION. The kids can write their
petitions that start with that letter on that page. They can illustrate with
drawings or by gluing pictures from a magazine, praying as they do so...
Examples: P - Put God first in my life E - Energy to get my homework
done T - Time to spend with my friends...etc.
Have the children bring them home & suggest they use it at private prayer
time...
Invite them to bring them back in a few months to share what God has done in
their lives !
