As a children’s worship leader for many years, I’ve experienced the arms crossed, “Make me sing,” attitude at the start of a children’s church hour.
Oh, yeah. Children are our best teachers. They are a picture of our own hearts at times.
“It’s not a good time to sing,” we convince ourselves, “there’s too much to worry, I mean, be concerned about right now!”
God is good to keep me in a place to keep a song in the hearts of kids. He knows, this “older kid” needs to keep a “good song” on my mind at all times. I can go out of tune mighty quick.
The Lord tells us to pray and not lose heart. But there are times we would rather cross our arms in the front of our chest than pray!
Jesus helped us with our prayers by giving us, what we call, the Lord’s Prayer.
I wrote a Lord’s prayer with a bit of a Lalala of the struggle to keep praising in my Lalala Lord’s Prayer. Kids sing this and make my heart pray and hope and remember the “Lalala” through the “dum dum dum” of the day!
Who’s struggling to find the song today? Give these kids a 2-minute listen. To meditate on the deep truths in the Lord’s prayer brings healing and hope.
Let me know if you did. I hope you have a hope-filled prayer song on your heart for the day:
