Hannah’s Creative Prayer
Verse: Matthew 4:1-11Creative Prayer:Invite everyone to collect a stone. In the reading, Jesus refuses to turn stones into bread, so the stones they are holding are a symbol of perseverance and faithfulness in the face of temptation. Then say this prayer:
We pray for encouragement to remain true to God’s word.
Lord, when we are tempted to seek comfort over truth
Let us pray with Christ, ‘one does not live by bread alone,
but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’
Lord, when we are tempted to demand you fulfil our wishes

Lord, when we are tempted to deny our faith in you
Let us pray with Christ, ‘worship the Lord you God and serve only him,’
