主题
基督徒生活，雅各书，祷告
等孩子(15分钟)
开头的祷告(5分钟)
参见：开头的祷告
背经节(12分钟)
所以你们要彼此认罪，互相代祷，使你们可以得医治。义人的祈求发动起来，是大有能力的。-雅各书5:16
一起多次朗读这节经文，然后将其写在黑板上。大家一起背诵，每次擦掉一个词，再次背诵。继续这样直到所有词都被擦掉。
故事与讨论(15分钟)
介绍：
雅各在信中最后讨论了一个非常重要的话题。你能猜出是什么吗（祷告）？我们来看看雅各书中关于祷告的内容。
读两遍。第一次，让孩子们数数雅各用了多少次“祷告”这个词（出现7次）。在这个简短的章节中，祷告被提到七次，足以说明祷告非常重要。让孩子们再次阅读，这次让他们注意不同的祷告类型。
读 雅各书5:13-18
讨论问题：
1.雅各提到的三个祷告时机是什么？（遇到困难时、开心时和生病时 - 雅各书5:13-14）
2.当我们……时，应该祷告什么？
遇到困难？（祈求帮助或指导）
开心？（进行赞美祷告，或唱赞美诗）
生病？（祈求痊愈）
犯罪？（祈求赦免）
3.你认为雅各在第14节中提到油的原因是什么？（允许讨论。旧约中，被油膏抹象征着献给神。但油也被用作药物来治愈伤口。也就是说，教会的长老会为生病的人祷告，并提供力所能及的帮助。比如你得了重感冒，有人可以为你祷告，但你也需要服用药物）
4.在第15和16节中，罪与疾病有什么关系？（允许讨论。有些人的罪实际上会让他们生病。例如，当做了错事并对父母隐瞒时，可能会因为内疚感到胃疼。这就是罪对健康影响的一个简单例子）
5.我们为什么要为彼此祷告？（我们应尽力帮助彼此，尤其是通过祷告！）
6.当知道有人在挣扎时，可以做的一件事是什么？（祷告）
7.第16节中，雅各说：“义人的祈求发动起来，是大有能力的。” 什么是义人？（道德上正直的人）
8.谁是祷告有力量且有效的义人？（让孩子们回答。）
实际上，雅各指的是我们。然而，我们并不是天生就是义人。腓立比书3:9说我们的义不是来自我们自己，而是通过对耶稣的信心。我们因基督而成义，祷告时，我们可以相信神听我们的祷告。

DAILY LIVING - TEACHINGS FROM JAMES
LESSON 7: Becoming a Pray-er
After completing this lesson, the children will know how they should pray, when they should pray, and why it is important to include prayer as a regular part of their daily living.by Andrea Wehmeyer
TOPICS
Christian Living, James, Prayer
AS KIDS ARRIVE (15 minutes)
How Would I React? (Activity) Click here
For younger children, you may simply want to read to the different situations found in this activity to them. Then you can discuss what their answers would be to each instead of having them write them down.
OPENING PRAYER AND PRAISE (5 minutes)
Further info? Click here
MEMORY WORK (10 minutes)
"Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective." James 5:16 NIV
Read the verse together several times, then write the verse on the board. Say the verse together as a class, erase a word or two and say the verse again. Continue in this manner until the words are all erased.
SCRIPTURE READING AND DISCUSSION (20 minutes)
Introduction:
James closes out his letter with a very important topic. Can you guess what that is? (prayer) Let’s read and find out exactly what James wrote about prayer.
Read the passage two times. The first time, tell the kids to count the number of times James uses the word pray or prayer. (It is found 7 times.) In this short passage, seven times is quite a lot. Prayer must be very important. Read the passage again as the children follow along. This time have them listen for the different kinds of prayer mentioned.
Read James 5:13-18
Discussion Questions:
1. James gives three examples when we should pray. What are they? (When in trouble, when happy and when sick- James 5:13-14.)
2. What should we pray for when....
We are in trouble? (Pray for help or guidance.)
We are happy? (Give prayers of praise, or songs of praise.)
We are sick? (Pray for healing.)
We have sinned? (Pray for forgiveness.)
3. Why do you think James talks about oil in verse 14? (Allow for discussion. In the Old Testament, when someone was anointed with oil, it symbolized that they were now set apart for God. But oil was also used as something else. Oil was used as medicine to heal wounds. In other words, the elders, who were there to help people in the church, would come and pray over anyone who was sick. If there was anything the elder could do, he would do it. Say for instance that you have a really bad cold. Someone can pray over you, but you also need to take your medicine.)
4. How are sin and sickness related in verses 15 and 16? (Allow for discussion. Some people’s sin actually causes them to get sick. Have you ever done something bad and hid it from your parents. Have you ever felt so bad about doing that bad thing, that your stomach started hurting? This is one case when you would need to confess and tell your parents what you did. This is just one simple example of how sin can affect your health.)
5. Why should we pray for each other? (We should help each other every way we can, but especially through prayer!)
6. When you know someone is struggling with something, what's one thing you can always do? (Pray.)
7. In verse 16, James says, "The prayer of the righteous man is powerful and effective." What does righteous mean? (Acting in a morally correct manner.)
8. Who is the righteous man who has powerful and effective prayers? (Allow the kids an opportunity to answer.)
Actually, James is talking about us. However, we are not naturally righteous people. Philippians 3:9 says our righteousness doesn't come from us, but through faith in Jesus. We can be righteous because of Christ in us, and when we pray we can trust that God hears our prayers.
