Answer to My Prayer: Anytime Anywhere Prayer Storyboard
14 pages (Color, Black-and-White with Instructions).
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.
TO MAKE VISUALS AND OBTAIN STORIES:
1. Print/copy, color, and cut out the images. Use tape or magnets to mount visuals. Mount parts A-C on a poster and then laminate the entire poster.
2. Obtain the PRAYER STORIES* listed below to match each image shown on the preview. Note: References to stories are on the following page.
THOUGHT TREAT (not included in instructions). Potpourri Prayer Punch. Mix up three different flavors of punch and have the youth pour several flavors together. As they mix and drink, share different prayer stories where prayers were answered.
THOUGHT TREAT Prayer Pudding Portrait. Give the youth several different colors of pudding on waxed paper and have them paint a finger-painting picture of something they have prayed about and the prayer was answered. Share their prayer story and then eat the pudding.
