Prayer - We can ask for help

 Hello and welcome back to Christchurch Kids. Today, we are going to be continuing to talk about prayer. Have you talked to God this week? What did you chat about?

Today we are talking about asking for help. We all ask for help all the time. What do you need help with during your day?

Tying your shoelaces?

Getting a lift to football?

Being given a packed lunch?

Reading a tricky word in a book?

I love it when someone helps me as shows they are thinking of me, even when it's a little thing like making me a cup of tea.

The Bible tells us that God loves us. He loves us so much that he sent Jesus so we could be friends with Him forever. God wants to help us because He loves us. 

When we pray, we can ask for help. It could be for a little thing or a really big thing. Peter's friends asked for God's help in a really big way.

 Let's listen to the story and find out....

Did you notice that when God answered their prayers, Peter's friends still didn't believe it had happened! God is more amazing that we can imagine and will do more than we expect.

Prayer

God loves to help you with things - big and small. This week, if you find something you need help with, remember to ask God. Look for how He answers your prayer. Maybe someone will come along to help you, maybe you will find that lost thing. God can answer our prayers in the most surprising ways - just like in our story today.

We've got a song to join in with now and it's so much fun and we've got some friends here to help with the actions too. God wants to help us and he is always there and always listens and always hears me when I talk to him...

Thanks for joining us here on the blog this week. We have exciting news! Next week, on May 23rd, we will be starting a Christchurch Kids group in Christchurch on Sunday mornings - Hurray! It will be happening in the hall during the morning service for primary school aged children. We will be sitting at tables with our siblings with resources on each table. Adults will be wearing masks but primary school aged children won't need to. We will be having lots of fun finding out more about prayer with stories, games and crafts. 

If you would like to come along, you will need to book a place as we have a maximum number of 15 places each Sunday. You can book a place by clicking here.

We're really sorry that we can't run Bubbles or Rapidz at the moment.

We will still be here on the blog too until the summer holidays so you can find out more about prayer here as well and chat about it with your family.
