Identify the doctrine (seeing an object lesson):
Ask a parent and child to stand in front of the children. Invite the child to ask his or her parent a
question, and have the parent answer. Then ask the parent to leave the room and close the door. Ask the children how they can communicate with their parents when they are not with them (for example, writing a letter or talking on the phone).
Explain that God is our Father and we are His children; because we are not in His presence, He has given us a way to talk to Him. Ask the children if they know how we talk to God. Have the children say after you, “I can pray to Heavenly Father.

Encourage understanding (coloring):
Sing “I Pray in Faith” ( CS , 14). Make a copy of the flip book on page 19 of the nursery manual, Behold Your Little Ones, for each child. Invite the children to color the pictures. (Older children could write on the flaps some things they are grateful for and some things they could ask Heavenly Father for.
You could then invite them to share their ideas with the whole Primary.)
Have the children sing the song again while reviewing their flip books.
