Making the My Problem Card:

Copy the pattern onto a sheet of A4 card.
Cut out the card and fold along the center line.
Let each child write out a problem that they face.
And then the prayer they want to pray for God to meet their problem.
They can colour in and decorate the plaque as they wish.

Introduction:

The disciples were amazed when Jesus calmed the storm. They wondered what man could be obeyed by the wind and sea. Yes, Jesus had the power to calm the wind and sea, and He helped His disciples when they were afraid.

Perhaps you have a severe problem that is worrying you, as you cannot do anything about it. I want you to write it on the card. In Psalm 91:15, God promises that He will answer our prayers and find a solution to our problems:

"He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him.
I will be with him in trouble and will deliver him."

Now, I want you to write a prayer for God to meet your need and provide a way to solve your problem. Let's pray over all the cards and then take them home. You should keep the card somewhere where you can see it and pray the prayer every day until God answers in His own special way.

In a month's time, ask volunteers to testify as to how God answered their prayer and met their need and solved their problem.

God bless!
