The Greatest Conversation

"What kinds of things do you talk about with your friends?", I asked. Some answers I received were, "Video games", "Clothes", "Anything that we have in common", "The mall", and "Deadly objects". That last one made me laugh! And I think you can probably guess if a boy or girl gave that particular answer. :) There were more answers of course, but my point was that we can talk to God about these things too. He's not just concerned with the big and seemingly more important things that happen in life; He also cares about the little stuff too.

Yesterday started our first of four lessons on prayer. Our Big Point for the lesson was, "I can talk to Jesus as my friend." How awesome is that?! He listens to us and cares about what we say. Our verse is found in 1 John 5:14-15, "This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us - whatever we ask - we know that we will have what we asked of Him." What an amazing promise!

Here's a look at our Bible story as well. It's one of my favorites. :)



I can't even begin to explain how important prayer is to the kids, but I'm praying that these next few lessons will really plant a seed in the heart of each child that comes, that our prayers are the greatest conversations we will ever have.
