A Thankful Prayer To Teach Children
A Thankful Prayer to Teach -to-teach-childrenMimiBullockNovember 26,2014Teaching a child to engage God in prayer should be a top priority for children’s ministryleaders. This is a great time to teach about being thankful, when so many families andministries are focusing on thankfulness. Teach children a thankful prayer, one that they canuse all year long and watch their relationship with God grow. By combining simple phraseswith hand and body movements kids will want to pray a thankful prayer every day.First, here is a thankful prayer. I have kept it short so that it will be easy for children andteachers to remember.Father, Father up aboveThank you, thank you for your loveThank you, for my parents and my teachers tooI can see and I know these came from yoFather, Father up aboveThank you, thank you for your loveThank you for my meals and my warm bed tooI can see and I know these came from youFather, Father up aboveThank you, thank you for your loveThank you, for my friends old and newI can see and I know these came from youThank you FatherFor your gifts to meAmen1/2
Now comes the fun part! Ask children to stand and repeat the hand movements that youmake. Here are my suggestions for hand and body movements but feel free to mix it upand make up some of your own.Father: give yourself a hugUp above: raise your hands above your headThank you: clap your handsFor your love: rub your heart with the palm of your right handI can see: point to your eyes with your pointer fingersAnd I know: point to your head with your pointer fingersMy meals: on rub your tummy with the palms of your handsMy warm bed: fold your hands like you are sleepingMy friends: point to the other childrenOld and new: close your hands into this for old and open them for newFor your gifts: cup your palms together like you’re holding a presentTo me: point to yourself with your palmsAmen: bow your head and fold your handsTeaching children to be thankful for what they have will help them grow into appreciativeadults, aware of all of the blessings that God has given them.Read more from Mimi by visiting her blog at Tools for Kids Church.Don’t miss all our ideas for Thanksgiving in your children’s ministry .
