介绍

孩子们学习如何在生活中养成转向主并信靠祂的好习惯。

主题

习惯、祷告、信靠

材料

甜点图片

桶或大纸袋

时间

约15分钟

课前准备

上课前，打印甜点图片后，剪下每张图片。图片可以重复使用。

说明

1.做

将剪好的图片放入桶或大纸袋中。孩子们一个接一个上来，从桶里抽出一张图片。然后，他们会假装想要显示的东西。例如，如果一个孩子抽到冰激凌，他/她可以假装在舔冰激凌并说：“嗯，真好吃。” 然后，他们会问：“我可以吃个冰激凌吗？”

你将扮演家长，告诉孩子“现在不能吃。”此时，孩子会假装哭闹、发脾气。然后，他/她应该停下来，停止哭闹，并说一个简短的祷告，求问主他们是否可以有该物品，这是否符合主的旨意。(准备好在孩子祷告时提供帮助。)

2.说

我们要假装因为得不到想要的东西而哭闹和发脾气。这听起来很有趣吧？即使是成年人，当我们得不到想要的东西时，有时也会发脾气。所以，我们要练习正确的请求方式，通过祷告并信靠主，知道主为我们预备的才是最好的。这才是正确的方式。

首先，你从桶里挑选一个甜点，就像这样。(给他们看一张糖果的图片。) 然后，你假装礼貌地向妈妈请求得到这个东西。例如：“妈妈，我可以吃个冰激凌吗？”

作为你的妈妈，我会说“不行。”然后，你哭闹、发脾气。之后，你停下来并说一个祷告。你祷告时，我会帮助你。

过程大致如下。(示范请求是否可以吃一块糖果。假装因为没得到想要的东西而大发脾气。然后向主祷告，请祂赐你平安，并帮助你不再想要这块糖果，如果这不符合祂的旨意。)

讨论问题：

你们觉得我刚才的大闹一场怎么样？每个人都能做到吗？（自由回答）
我是如何表现出耶稣是我生命的主，并且信靠祂的？（我祷告了，并将我的担忧交托给耶稣。）
为什么将我们所有的问题都交给主是好的？（圣经说：“你要把你的重担卸给耶和华，他必抚养你；他永不叫义人动摇。” 诗篇55:22。）

谁愿意成为第一个志愿者，大闹一场后示范如何停下来祷告，来表现耶稣是你生命的主？

STOP AND TURN TO JESUS

Children learn how to make turning to the Lord and trusting in Him a good habit in their lives.by Kristy Thornton

TOPICS:

Habits, Prayer, Trust

MATERIALS:

Treat cutouts [PDF] Click hereBucket or large paper bag

DURATION:

Approximately 15 minutes

PREPARATION:

Before class, print out the Treat cutouts sheet, and cut out each picture. You can use each picture more than once.

WHAT YOU WILL DO:

Put the cutout pictures into a bucket or large paper bag. The children will come up one by one and take one picture out of the bucket. Then, they will pretend to want the item displayed. For example, if a child picked out the ice cream cone, he or she might pretend to be licking the ice cream while saying, "Yum, yum." Then, they will ask, "Can I have an ice cream cone?"

You will be the parent, and tell the child "No, you cannot have that now." At this point, the child will pretend to cry, whine, and have a fit. Then, he or she should pause, stop whining, and say a small prayer asking the Lord if they could have the item and if it is according to His Will. (Be prepared to assist the child with the prayer.)

WHAT YOU WILL SAY:

We are going to pretend to whine and throw a fit because we can't get something we want. Doesn't that sound like fun? Even as adults, we sometimes throw a fit when we don't get what we want. So, we are going to practice the right way to ask for something, by praying and trusting that the Lord knows what's best for us. This is how.

First, you will choose a treat from the bucket, like this. (Show them a picture of candy.) Then, you will pretend to ask your mom nicely for whatever it is. For example, "Mom, can I have an ice cream cone?"

As your mom, I will say "No." Then, you will whine, cry, and throw a big fit. After that, you will pause and say a prayer. I will help you when it your turn to pray.

It will go something like this. (Demonstrate by asking if you could have a piece of candy. Pretend to have a big fit for not getting what you want. Then pray to the Lord, asking Him to give you peace and help you not want the candy anymore if it is not according to His Will for you to have any.)

Discussion Questions:

1. What did you all think of my enormous fit? Can everyone do that? (Allow children to respond.)

2. How did I show that Jesus is Lord of my life and that I trust Him? (I prayed and gave my cares and worries to Jesus.)

3. Why is it good to give all our problems to the Lord? (The Bible says, "Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken." Psalm 55:22.)

Who would like to be the first volunteer to throw one huge fit and then demonstrate how to stop and pray to show how Jesus is the Lord of your life?
