Hands that guide us

Prayer Spaces at Home and a Prayer to our leaders

Hi Kids,

We all have people in our life who are there to lead and guide us. Our leaders could be our parents or guardians, our teachers, a sports or dance coach. They could also be the leaders of our country or of our religion. Sometimes leaders guide us by teaching us and by giving us rules and regulations. We do not always agree with the decisions or teachings of our leaders but if we communicate respectfully with them we will be able to work hand-in hand with the people who guide us and with each other.

This prayer space is called Hands That Guide Us.

You will need:

  • a blank sheet of paper 
  • colouring pencils
  • a pen or pencil

Instructions:

  • Place your hand on the sheet and draw around your thumb and fingers.
  • Draw each finger a different colour
  • In each finger on the paper, write the name of an important leader in your life.
  • Think of how these people help you in your life. Write a prayer for one or all of these persons.

Bye kids. See you soon.
