This afternoon, we learnt why Christians pray to God. First we discussed who we go to for help. We came up with some great ideas such as parents, teachers, friends and aunties and uncles. Then, we related this to why Christians pray to God. We discussed how God can be there for people and offer them help and support, give forgiveness and to provide a friendship. We then read The Lords Prayer and interpreted the meaning of it. For example, we said how God can offer protection because in the Lords Prayer it says “Lead us not into temptation, deliver us from evil”. Finally, we wrote our own prayer. We were shocked by some of the lovely things the children mentioned for example “please help people who don’t have food”, “please can you help me because I am struggling in maths”, “thank you for the food, family and friendships I have” and “please provide warmth and food for those who need it”.
