Guardians Of Ancora Bible Plan: How To Talk With GodSample

WHY PRAY WHEN YOU CAN WORRY?

We are so good at worrying! We are so good at fretting! We are so good at being anxious! The Bible tells us very clearly not to worry about anything, but to pray about everything.

Pray to the God who tells us to come to him if we are weary and burdened. The God who promises us rest. And peace. Let go, and let God.

The very special prayer that Jesus taught his followers gives us the opportunity to come to him, praise him and worship him. Then we can ask for what we need, ask for forgiveness and ask for strength to cope with everything that the devil wants to throw at us. It’s all there.

Pray it! Then… let go, and let God.

TALKABOUT

When Jesus prayed, he was talking with his Father God, who made the whole world. He showed his followers how to do that. And now, he’s showing your family how to talk with God! How does that make you feel?!

TALKING WITH GOD TOGETHER

Use actions to help you pray today.

We think of you, Father God. (Touch your head.)

We love you. (Put your hand over your heart.)

Come and make everything right. (Put your hands together.)

Give us the food we need. (Touch your mouth.)

We are sorry for the wrong things we’ve done. (Bow your head.)

We know you forgive us. (Lift your head.)

Please help us be friends with others. (Open your arms.)

PLAYING GUARDIANS OF ANCORA

Each day, when you switch on your device, you will be welcomed by the Guildmaster with a question and some firebugs. Move on, into the game, and decide what to play today.

Are you ready to explore the city of Ancora? You can use your firebugs to ‘unlock’ the districts of the city. You’ll meet more Ancorans who will invite you to play their Firebugs game, with new levels every day.

Are you wondering about Jesus and the way he taught his friends to pray? If you were there, on that day, who would you have been? Take a Personality Quiz to find out (tap on the ‘?’ button at the Spire). Compare answers, as a family.

Visit the Theatre of the Saga (the ‘video camera’ button at the Spire) to hear Fabula and the Guildmaster saying Jesus’ prayer. Join in with them, if you’d like to.
