目的

这是这个系列中的第一课，向孩子们介绍祷告在日常生活中的重要性。

主题

基督徒生活，认识神，聆听，祷告，人际关系

等孩子(10分钟)

在桌子上摆放以下几样东西：

电话报纸信件和信封地图收音机

当孩子们到达时，给他们一张纸，让他们列出桌子上的物品有什么共同点。在上课开始之前，告诉孩子们桌上所有的东西都是用来彼此沟通的。今天，我们的课程要讲到另一种交流方式。更具体地说，是关于我们如何与神沟通的。

开头的祷告(5分钟)

参见：开头的祷告

背经节(12分钟)

你们寻求我，若全心寻求，就必寻见。-耶利米书 29:13

将经文写在黑板上。先一起把经文读几遍。然后擦掉一个词，让孩子们一起读一遍，读时把删掉的词自动加上。然后再擦掉一个词，然后再读一遍经文。继续擦除词，直到孩子们可以背下来为止。

圣经故事与讨论(15分钟)

介绍：

今天，我们将学习到祷告就是与神交流或交谈。我们可能无法通过电话或信件和神联系，但祷告却和电子邮件或报纸一样真实。我们为什么要祈祷？因为这使我们与神的关系更加牢固。你能想象，若不与人沟通就想和他们成为最好的朋友吗？祷告让我们寻求到神对我们生命的指示。祷告还能帮我们摆脱困境。耶稣告诉我们要祷告：“要儆醒祷告，免得入了试诱。” (马太福音26:41)

阅读: 雅各书5:13-16（信心的祷告）

让孩子们在圣经中找到雅各书5:13-16。让孩子们自愿读这些经节，或者也可以你自己给孩子们读。

问题讨论：

1.什么是祷告？（祷告是我们与神之间属灵的交流。）

2.遇到麻烦时可以祷告吗？（可以。）

3.欢喜的时候可以祷告吗？（可以。）

4.喜乐的祷告，又叫什么？（赞美。）

5.雅各书5:13-16提到哪些可以祷告的例子？（当你受苦时，当你喜乐时，当你有病痛时，为显示信心，为认罪，为他人祷告。）

6.我们还能为什么祷告？（为得到：带领，保护，能力，和智慧。）

7.义人的祷告是有能有效的吗？（是的，圣经在雅各书5:16b中告诉我们，义人的祷告是大而有能的。）

应用(3分钟)

为什么要祷告？很简单，为与神交谈并为我们的生活寻求神的旨意。神是如此的美善，祂愿意帮助我们，无论是当我们快乐，悲伤，生病甚至遇到麻烦的时候。如果我们向神求，祂会把智慧，能力和聪明都赐给我们。实际上，只要我们按着祂的旨意来求，神很愿意把许多美好的事物赐给我们。神通过表记，圣灵和祂的话语-圣经，来回应我们的祈求。当我们祷告时，我们与神的关系就会越来越紧密。

LESSON 1: WHY PRAY?

This first Sunday school lesson of a series that will introduce children to the importance of prayer in their daily lives.

TOPICS

Christian Living, Knowing God, Listening, Prayer, Relationships

AS KIDS ARRIVE (10 minutes)

Display the following items on a table:

Telephone Newspaper Letters & Envelopes Road Map Radio

As the children arrive, give them a sheet of paper and ask them to list what they think the items on the table have in common. Just before class starts let the kids know that all the things displayed on the table are used to communicate with each other. Today our lesson is about another way we communicate. More specifically, it is about how we communicate with God.

OPENING PRAYER AND PRAISE (5 minutes)

MEMORY WORK (12 minutes)

"You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart" Jeremiah 29:13 NIV

Write the verse on the board. Say the verse together as a group several times. Then erase one word. Have the kids say the verse correctly again with the missing word. Then erase another word and say the verse again. Continue erasing words until the kids can say the entire verse without seeing the words.

SCRIPTURE READING AND DISCUSSION (15 minutes)

Introduction:

Today we will learn that prayer is communicating or talking with God. We may not be able to call God on the telephone or send Him a letter, but prayer is just as real as e-mail or newspapers. Why should we pray? Because it makes our relationship with God stronger. Could you imagine trying to have a best friend without communicating with them? Prayer is seeking God and His direction for our lives. Praying also helps keep us out of trouble. Jesus told us to pray, "Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation." (Matthew 26:41)

Read James 5:13-16 (The Prayer of Faith)

Have the kids find James 5:13-16 in their Bibles. Ask for a volunteer to read the passage, or if you prefer, read the passage to the children yourself.

Discussion Questions:

1. What is prayer? (Prayer is spiritual communication between ourselves and God.)

2. Can you pray when you are in trouble? (Yes.)

3. Can you pray when you are happy? (Yes.)

4. What is another name for happy prayers? (Praises.)

5. What are some of the examples of why to pray mentioned in James 5:13-16? (When you are in trouble, when you are happy, when you are sick, to show faith, for confession of sin, and to pray for others.)

6. What else can we pray for? (Some examples include: Guidance, Protection, Strength, Wisdom.)

7. Is the prayer of a righteous man powerful? Is it effective? (Yes the Bible tells us in James 5:16b that the prayers of the righteous are both powerful and effective.)

APPLICATION (2 minutes)

Why pray? It's simple, to talk with God and to get His direction for our lives. God is so good and will help us when we are happy, sad, sick or even when we're in trouble. God will give us wisdom, strength and understanding if we only ask Him. In fact God is willing to give us many good things as long as we ask for them in accordance to His Will. God answers our prayers with signs, the Holy Spirit and His Word, the Bible. When we pray our relationship with God grows.
