Answer to My Prayer: Anytime Anywhere Prayer Storyboard

POST-AND-PRESENT ACTIVITY. ANYTIME, ANYWHERE PRAYER true stories board. Youth can post these images as they tell the stories of a horse, ducks, car, fire, mosquito, train, and a boy’s shoe caught in the track. So many reminders that God is near and will give us aid if we but ask. His ways are higher than our ways and His vision of our situation is greater (Isaiah 5:8-9).

Learn that prayer is a blessing of talking directly to our Heavenly Father and that can be done anytime, anywhere! Learn from true stories found in the Friend magazine about times when Heavenly Father has heard their prayer.

OBJECTIVE: Read the true stories* about prayer to help the youth know they don’t need to be by their bedside to pray; they can pray anytime and anywhere to seek Heavenly Father’s guidance.

ACTIVITY: Assign the stories to youth or youth leaders to read or tell in their own words. Have a youth from each class post the matching picture on the storyboard before the story is told.

*PRAYER STORIES. See the following page to locate stories for the images: HORSE, DUCKS, CAR, FIRE, MOSQUITO, TRAIN, and BOY’S SHOE CAUGHT IN TRACK.
