When God made you, he made you in his image, placing his character traits in you.  He made all of you for a reason. God put some of his character traits in you so that you can show the world what he is like.

Today we learnt that God put his leadership, his strength and courage inside of boys. But of course, that doesn’t mean that girls can’t have these, too – it’s just that today we were talking about the boys.

Boys – God wants you to use the leadership, courage and strength he has given you to place the attention on God and not yourselves. And girls, you need to appreciate the way God made boys because he created both of you in his image.

Our Bible memory verse for this week is,

1 Timothy 4:12 Don’t let anyone think less of you because you are young. Be an example to all believers…

Today we learnt that the Y in PRAY stands for YIELD (give way, or surrender).

When we pray we need to realize that God knows best and although we may ask him for something, we need to YIELD, or surrender, what we want to what he wants.

Even Jesus did that. On the night before he was nailed to the cross, he asked God to take away the suffering he was going to face, but then he said, ‘not what I want, but what you want, Father’.

It’s not always easy to YIELD to what God wants, but he will give us the strength to do it – we just have to ask!

Our Bible memory verse for this week is,

1 Peter 4:19 … trust your lives to the God who created you, for he will never fail you.

In Junior edge we have been learning about PRAYER. The letters in the word P.R.A.Y. can teach us how to pray.

When we PRAY we start with PRAISE so that we appreciate how great and amazing our God is. We also need to REPENT. We need to tell God we are sorry for disobeying him, ask for his forgiveness, and ask for his help not to do that thing again. That way our friendship with God becomes stronger.

God also wants us to ASK him for things we need and want, but it is even more important to ASK God what he wants for our lives. Asking Him what He wants for you makes your heart grow closer to God. Asking Him what He wants for you shows God you love Him and want to obey Him.

Our Bible memory verse for this week is,

1 John 5:14 This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.
