Jrmiah 29:12 For Youngr Child rn: Tachr s Dvotional Pray to God and h wi ll har you. If th chck-out clrk wr to ask, What s th biggst rason you pray? how would you answr? Aftr all, popl in vry rligion pray. Why do w pray? What maks it any diffrnt for a followr of Jsus Christ to pray? Is it that w pray longr? With mor words? With mor faith? In a diffrnt postur? No. All human-ffort-basd rligious mthods soon war us out thn w quit praying altogthr! God s Word & M Nvr giv up praying, bcaus God promiss to har and an swr our prayrs. Whn w followrs of Jsus pray, th diffrnc is not in th amount of faith w hav, nor th right words or vn lots of words (in Matthw 6, Jsus ridiculd this kind of thing, rmmbr?). Th diffrnc is to whom w pray! W arn t snding out a vagu wish to som highr powr nor a faint hop on th farthst star no! W ar talking dirctly to th makr of th stars, th omnipotnt God of th univrs and our dar Fathr! This is th rason Jsus followrs wr so fascinatd with Jsus kind of prayr: Thy wr usd to addrssing th Rulr of th Univrs in formal rligious prayrs (in a crtain way, at a crtain tim) but to think that this mighty King was also thir Fathr? Rvolutionary! Th vry nam Fathr spok of an intimacy in prayr that thy had not known bfor. This is th rason Jsus told us to kp on asking, kp on sking, kp on knocking bcaus whn th answr dosn t com right away, it s only bcaus our loving Fathr is up to somthing w can t yt s. H is working somthing byond our comprhnsion and biggr than our livs. W pray, confidnt that H will har and answr bcaus w know Him H is good, H wants to har from us and H has an answr that will surpris and dlight! So, pray xpctantly! 143

Ti rop or brown yarn around th box or crat. Tll th Story Whn Jsus livd hr on Earth, thr was usually a crowd of popl surrounding Him. But whn th crowds wnt hom, Jsus spnt tim praying to God. Praying and talking with God was th way Jsus chargd up for anothr day of hard work! Jsus frinds wantd to larn how to gt chargd up by God lik Jsus did. So thy askd Jsus, Lord, tach us to pray! Jsus was glad to do that! First, H prayd for thm a prayr that thy could follow. This prayr is now known as Th Lord s Prayr. Jsus prayd, Fathr in havn, You ar holy and good. Hlp us do Your will hr on Earth as it is don in Havn. Plas giv us th food and othr things that w nd. Forgiv us our sins. W forgiv thos who hav sinnd against us. Plas protct us from tmptation to do wrong things and hlp us to do what is right instad. Aftr praying this prayr, Jsus told this parabl about th WAY w should pray. On night at around midnight, a man hard a loud knock at his door! H sat upright, WIDE awak! Who could that b? Thn h hard th familiar voic of an old frind! Th frind had stoppd by to visit, vn though it was VERY lat! (Rmmbr, in thos days popl mainly travld by foot or on a donky which mant you didn t always know whn you d gt to whr you wr going!) Quickly, th man got up and opnd his door. Wlcom, wlcom! h probably said. I m dlightd that you ar hr! Lt m gt a bd rady for you! Hav you atn? Wll, I v bn walking all day long! I m VERY hungry, his frind said, rubbing his rumbling stomach. Uh, oh! thought th man. I v atn th last of my brad. I rally don t hav anything to fd him! H didn t hav any brad but h DID hav an ida! Dar frind, I m so sorry I m out of brad! But I ll b right back. I m going to my nighbor s hous. I m sur thy ll giv m som brad. H put on his cloak, liftd his oil lamp to light th way and hadd out th door toward his nighbor s hous. (Put shawl or blankt around shouldrs; pick up flashlight.) Tap, tap, TAP! H tappd on th nighbor s door. (Tap on doorfram or tabl to illustrat story action.) It was silnt. Thr was no voic, no answr. Knock, knock, KNOCK! H knockd loudr. This tim, h hard his nighbor quitly muttr, Go AWAY. W r ASLEEP! No! Plas listn, nighbor! My frind has com to visit and I don t hav ANY food to giv him. Plas, lnd m som! th man pladd. I can t vn gt UP for all th slping childrn around m. Can t you com back in th morning? Bang, bang, BANG. Th man knockd again, a littl mor dtrmind! H calld a littl loudr. Nighbor, dar frind, I can t lav until you giv m somthing. I know it s lat but my frind is so VERY hungry! 147

Jsus wantd His discipls and vryon to know that whn w ask Him, God is much MORE willing to hlp us than that slpy, grumpy nighbor was! But Jsus wasn t finishd! H said, Ask and it will b givn to you. Kp on looking. Kp on knocking bcaus God is a loving Fathr. H will answr. H wants to hlp His childrn! Jsus wnt on, Som of you hr ar fathrs yourslvs. If on of your childrn askd you for a fish, would you hand him a SNAKE instad? Of cours not! (Show snak or scorpion.) If your child askd for an gg, would you giv him a scorpion? No fathr would giv a scorpion to a child who askd for an gg! That would b CRUEL! You fathrs undrstand that giving a good thing whn your child asks is a way you show lov! Now, think about this! How much mor will your havnly Fathr giv good things to YOU whn you ask Him? H lovs you mor than th vry bst fathr on Earth! God s Word & M Jsus wants all of us to know that w can trust God. H is a good Fathr and H wants to har from us. God lovs us and will hlp us whn w ask Him! Somtims God answrs our prayrs with a ys, or a no, or mayb H wants us to wait for th answr.
