Today the children attending Sunday School at Rivers of Life Seibert Church will learned about Jesus and His disciples praying in the Garden of Gethsemane. Jesus told His followers to pray so that they would not fall into temptation, but instead they all fell asleep. Today’s lesson emphasized that praying will help us avoid temptation as well. (Scripture used: Mark 14:32-42) Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak. Mark 14:38 NIV Practice this verse several times with your child during the week. This will not only help him or her remember the verse, but it will also help to reinforce what he or she learned during class. Suggested Parent/Child Activity:Thumb wrestle with your child several times, and then discuss how our spirit and flesh wrestle against each other for control of our lives. Discuss Mark 14:38 with your child. Help your child compile a list of ways to stay spiritually strong and alert. Daily Prayer: Dear Jesus, thank You for teaching us to pray so that we do not fall into temptation. Please help us stay spiritually strong and alert. Give us a hunger to please You with the way we live. May the Holy Spirit help us pray fervently each day. Amen.
