| I can
pray to Heavenly Father anytime, anywhere, week 1 (Friend Jul 2003, suggestion # 1) |
Review Jesus' teachings on prayer by reading and discussing Matt. 6:7–13.
Explain that Jesus also taught us by example that we can
pray anytime, anywhere.
On pieces of paper, write these scripture references:
Have each class choose a reference, locate the scripture,
and, by reading it, discover where or when a person could pray.
Have a child from each class draw on the chalkboard or on a piece of paper a
picture that illustrates that class's scripture, such as:
Have the rest of the Primary guess what was illustrated, then locate the scripture and read it aloud.
Sing a song about prayer or about the Savior.
Repeat the process with the other classes' scriptures.
Discuss additional places and times they can pray (see Alma
34:17–27).
Share an experience of a time when your prayers were answered and bear testimony
that Heavenly Father will answer the children's prayers for their good.
