📖 Scripture:

Luke 18:1–8

🧡 Prayer helps us share everything with God: what we’re thinking, how we make choices, when we need help, and who we love and care about.

Jesus wants us to keep praying and trusting God, because God is always listening, and God loves us so much.

🕺 Movement Prompt: Prayer Poses:

Let’s show how we feel when we pray! Try these:

🙌 Hands together with a smile — Joyful prayer

🙆‍♀️ Hands open wide up high — Thankful prayer

❤️ Hands on heart — Sad or worried prayer

🤲 Hands on forehead — Quiet prayer

Let's Practice: Pick a pose and say one sentence to God.

🧙🏽‍♀️ Story Summary:

Jesus told a story about a woman who needed help. She kept asking a judge to make things right. At first, the judge didn’t care... but she didn’t give up! She kept asking until the judge finally helped her.

Jesus said:

If even a grumpy judge listens, what do you think our loving God will do? God listens. God helps. God wants to hear our prayers.

🙏 Closing Prayer:

Invitation - let's chose a prayer pose, and think of

"be loved, be kind, and be you and me" as we pray...

Dear God, thank You for loving us and always listening.

We trust You, because You are always with us,

Help us keep praying, even when it’s hard,

and wherever we are.

Amen.
