Prayer Sticks

When you close your eyes, fold your arms, and bow your head, you are ready to pray to Heavenly Father. But how do you know what to say? Use these prayer sticks to help you remember the steps of prayer.

Before you begin to pray, look at the sticks. Start with stick 1. This is how you begin prayer. Next look at stick 2 and think of the things that you are grateful for. Then look at stick 3 and think of the blessings you would like to ask Heavenly Father for. Stick 4 will remind you how you should finish your prayer.

To make the sticks, you will need:

Four craft sticks
Markers

Label the sticks with the different parts of prayer, and then use the markers to color the sticks.

Your family can help you review the parts of prayer. Hand out the sticks to your mom, dad, and siblings. Ask them to discuss the sticks in order.

1. Dear Heavenly Father, …

2. I thank thee for …

3. Please bless …

4. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
