What we learned:
Today we learned the purpose of prayer.
A neat way to remember the purpose of prayer, is to remember the word
ACTS. We can pray for A - Adoration of God, C - Confession,
T - Thanksgiving and S - Supplication. We also learned that God wants
to be involved in our lives on a daily basis, so we need to pray,
read our Bibles and acknowledge that the world we live in was created
by God. Look around, see the beauty, and be thankful. |

Memory Verse:
And ye shall seek me, and find me, when
ye shall search for me with all your heart. Jeremiah 29:13 KJV
Throughout the week play a game of "Pop
Verse" with your child. Pop Verse is similar to a pop quiz -
anytime through out the week any family member can call out "Pop
Verse" and the verse reference "Jeremiah 29:13" - the
other family members will then need to recite the verse from memory. |

Suggested Parent/Child Activity:
Spend some time practicing prayer together
with your child. Assign one of the letters of ACTS to four different
days of the week. On the first day give prayers of adoration to God.
On the second day pray asking God to forgive you and your family for
sins have been commited. The third day give a prayer of thankfulness
for all the blessings God gives. Finally, on the fourth day, pray
for someone in the church who needs special comfort, healing, or wisdom.

Daily Prayer:
Almighty God, we thank you that you give
our lives purpose and meaning - May our prayers to you have purpose
and meaning as well. At all times let us be mindful that you alone
are God as we enter into your presence through prayer. Amen |
