God Loves to Hear My Thoughts
Come with me
and see this wall!
It’s full of chalk.
And super tall.
It’s where I’m brave
and share my prayers.
My biggest hopes,
my biggest cares.
Devotion
Isn’t it amazing that the same God who created the stars and the oceans and every person on earth wants us to talk to Him? Isn’t it such good news that nothing is too big to God or too small for God. He is mighty, and never too busy!
God wants you to tell Him what makes you happy. He also wants you to share what you are thinking and hoping, worried about, and dreaming. He wants to hear every prayer in your heart. It’s true that because He is the God of the universe, He knows all those things already. But He loves to hear your voice speaking to Him. The more you talk to God, the easier it gets to talk to Him again, and again. He loves time with you!
Question
If you had a wall where you could write down your biggest cares, what would you write?
Prayer
God, thank you for wanting me to tell you what I am thinking and feeling. I love talking to You! Amen.
Activity
Write on a piece of paper (or ask someone else to write for you) three things you want to tell God today.
Scripture
About this Plan
As we encourage our children to take their concerns to God, we know they may be confused or discouraged when He doesn’t seem to answer. With excerpts from the book Flashlight Night, explore this dilemma from a kid’s perspective, helping your child see that, however things may appear, God hears and cares about every prayer.
