Prayer is a wonderful blessing in our lives as Christians. God has given us a beautiful gift in allowing us and teaching us to communicate with Him. It is important to teach children that Jesus modeled prayer and wants us to pray! These two crafts provide fun visual reminders of prayer concepts. A prayer chain provides ideas for students to pray about daily. A "prayer telephone" is a fun and creative tool to emphasize that prayer involves both talking and listening. Have fun and get crafty!

Verses or Captions to Consider… (Main Text: John 17:6-19)

All mine are yours, and yours are mine, and I am glorified in them. 11 And I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name, which you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are one. -John 17:10-11

16 They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 17 Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth. -John 17:16-17

Praying is talking…and listening!

God hears my prayers and cares!

Jesus comforts us with His presence!

Prayer changes things.

Pray always!
