Be Prayed up
Lesson Plan
Opening Verse:
Jeremiah 29:13- If you look for me
wholeheartedly, you will find me.
James 5:13-16
Are any of you suffering hardships? You should pray.
Are any of you happy? You should sing praises.
Are any of you sick? You should call for the elders of
the church to come and pray over you, anointing you
with oil in the name of the Lord. Such a prayer offered
in faith will heal the sick, and the Lord will make you
well. And if you have committed any sins, you will be
forgiven, Confess your sins to each other and pray for
each other so that you may be healed. The earnest
prayer of a righteous person has great power and
produces wonderful results.
*Human Robot activity
God wants us to give Him heartfelt prayers, telling
Him everything. Were not to just repeat prayers we’ve
heard like a robot, but to pray to God in a way where it
comes from our hearts, not from momma and daddy’s
heart.
*Popcorn activity
Our relationship with God is similar to this game we
just played. The further away from each other, the
harder it was to catch the popcorn. Likewise, the
further we are from God, the harder it is to have a
relationship with God. On the other hand, the closer
we are to God, the easier it will be to have a strong
relationship with Him. How do we get close to God?
We can get closer to God by reading the Bible,
praying, and fasting.
*Paper activity
Ask which things would be more important than the
others. Ask which one would be more useful for
talking to God.
God wants to hear from us more than before
meals and at bedtime, He wants to be part of our
lives.
