I kept this one pretty simple. I used some of the lesson from here about Heavenly Father answering prayers (mainly I used the first story) and added some activities from here to help us figure out out how to make our prayers more meaningful by pondering and listening.
We talked a lot about what it means to ponder and how to ponder. Kiah helped me to demonstrate a one sided conversation to drive home the point of the need to listen.
At the end I had the kids start a very simple prayer journal. I wanted them to write down things that they were thankful for and things that they maybe wanted to ask for as well. I was really impressed with what they came up with.
We did make a little prayer tracker using beads and a ribbon. It is for our family prayers. Pretty simple, 14 beads on a ribbon. We slide the beads from one side to the other after a prayer is said.
Kiah picked the songs, and I thought she did a great job. She picked "Child's Prayer" and "I pray in faith"
