Presentation for children on why we pray. Shows children how to have faith that God will answer their prayers.

1. Worship the Lord with joy
and gladness……..!
“Come before his presence with singing. Know
ye that the Lord, he is God.” Psalm 100:2,3

2. Worship is
good for the
soul!
Whenever I am
feeling sad and blue,
I can go to the Lord
in prayer. I worship
Him by saying he is
so wonderful! The
Lord can do so much
more than what I
can do.
Ephesians 1:19 “Now to him who is
able to do immeasurably more
than what we can ask or imagine,
according to his great power that is
within us, be glory in the church
through the Lord Jesus Christ,
forever and ever.”

3. I pray because I
feel better when I
tell the Lord my
problems.
 Then, I do not have to walk around
being worried all day. I know the Lord
is taking care of things for me.
 Psalm 55:22 – “Cast thy burdens upon
the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he
shall never suffer the righteous to be
moved.”

4. When I pray,
I don’t worry.
 I can play, I can go to school,
and I can spend time with my
mother and father.
Prayer helps me to
do things when
things are not going
well for me.
“And the peace of
God, which passeth
all understanding,
shall keep your
hearts and minds
through Christ
Jesus.” Philippians
4:7

5. I once had a
problem with
Thomas, the
school bully.
o Thomas used to follow me and
push me around on the way
home from school.
 I was so afraid of him! I would
sweat and my knees would
shake every time I saw him.
 Thomas told me that if I told
anyone that he was pushing me
around, he would beat me up!

6. Jesus to the
rescue.
 The Lord reminded me of the story of
David and Goliath.
 The armies of Israel were afraid of
Goliath because he was very tall and
wore a lot of brass to protect himself.
 But David had once protected a lamb
from a lion and a bear. He also had
faith that the Lord would protect him
against Goliath.
So, I kept my mouth
shut. I did not tell
anyone that he was
bothering me. I was
afraid that Thomas
would beat me up!
I did not know what
to do, so I went to
the Lord for help.
I opened the Bible
and read, “Let the
little children come
to me….”
My friend Olivia
always prays about
her problems.
The Lord rescued
her from a mean
neighbor.

7. Prayer can
change my
situation.
So, armed with what
I had read in the
Bible, I decided to
pray to God about
my problem.
God answered my
prayer when my
mom needed money
to pay the rent.

8. I have faith
because he
listened to me
and answered
me.
I have been praying
everyday about this
problem. I am just
waiting for the
answer.
I do not know how
long it takes for God
to answer me.
Maybe today…or
maybe tomorrow…or
maybe next week. I
will just have to wait.
I do not have fear
anymore. I can do
my work without
worrying.

9. Trust in the Lord
who is mighty to
save.
“The angel of the Lord
encampeth around
those who fear him and
delivereth them.”
Psalm 34:7

10. The Leaders of
Our Country

George Washington was
the first president of the
