Breath Prayers
Today in our prayer group we tried out breath prayers. The children were invited to think or say on the inhale of breath "When I am afraid" and then on the exhale "I will trust in you." We closed our eyes and opened our hearts to God after talking about how God will always be there for us when we need him. The children enjoyed this method of prayer.
Bubble Prayers
Today in our prayer garden we all made bubble prayers. We thought about the scripture of James 1:17 after our Mini Vinnie Ishara read from the bible. This reading tells us of the good things in our lives as it tells us that every gift we have been given, come from God. The children called out the good things in their lives such as peace, family, joy and love. We then took the pots of bubbles and in pairs the children took it in turns to bless their partner with chosen gifts. After their blessings, the children said their own prayer which would be sent to God by blowing bubbles.
