Meaningful Prayer Experiences

The goal of planning a prayer service for class is to provide a memorable and reverent experience around a certain topic.

A prayer service is meant to be heartfelt. For that to be the case, plan for the students to participate in a prayer service after they have personalized the lesson’s topic through some sort of meditation activities.

Through meditation, they will gain some understanding of what God is saying to them personally today.

Then, in the prayer service, they can make the words of the prayers their own words as well. They can offer words as a response to God after encountering him in some way.

You can also integrate prayer and meditation in the same prayer service. With guided questions or reflection prompts, invite students to listen for God’s word in their minds and hearts.

Then, using the words written on the prayer aides for the prayer service, students can respond to God in an appropriate way.
