A gathering prayer for children
Dear God,
you lead each of us
on our path through life.
Today our paths meet
at this moment, in this place.
Bring us together to worship you.
Amen.
This week, I would like you to be creative. Draw around your hand, and in the centre of the palm, draw your name. Decorate the hand and your name however you think best fits your personality. On your thumb, I would like you to think about something that brings you closer to your family. This could be a film night, or a shared enjoyment. On your 2nd finger, please write a postive thing about yourself, eg: confident, or kind. On your 3rd finger, write something you wish you had, eg: confidence. On your 4th finger, please write something you think God looks for in a follower of him. Finally, on your little finger, write why you love God. This could be any reason at all, eg: He loves us, He is kind, He looks out for us, He listens to us.
God loves each and every one of us for our own special ways and different personalities. We cannot do wrong in Gods eyes.
