Your Kingdom Come – Wanting God’s Way
📖 Bible Verse
“Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.” — Matthew 6:10
🕊️ Story / Reflection
When Jesus taught His disciples how to pray, He said, “Your kingdom come, Your will be done.” God’s kingdom is a place where love, kindness, truth, and goodness rule.
In God’s kingdom, people care for one another, forgive each other, and choose what is right.
When we pray “Your kingdom come,” we are asking God to help the world become more like His kingdom.
We are also asking Him to help our hearts follow His ways.
Sometimes we want things our own way. But God’s way is always better. His way leads to peace, kindness, and wisdom.
When we choose God’s way — being honest, kind, forgiving, and loving- we are helping bring God’s kingdom into the world.
💡 Lesson
God’s way is the best way, and I can choose to follow it.
🙏 Prayer
Dear God,
Help me want Your way more than my own way.
Teach me to choose kindness, honesty, and love.
May Your kingdom grow in my heart and in the world around me.
Amen.
🎨 Activity (Ages 3–6)
- Draw two simple paths on a paper:
- One path labelled “My Way”
- One path labelled “God’s Way”
- Decorate the God’s Way path with hearts, smiles, and kind actions (sharing, helping, loving).
✏️ Reflection (Ages 7–9)
Discuss:
- What are some examples of God’s way?
- Why do you think God’s way is the best?
- When is it sometimes hard to choose the right thing?
🕯️ Challenge (Ages 10–12)
Today, look for three opportunities to choose God’s way:
- Being kind
- Telling the truth
- Helping someone
At the end of the day, reflect on how those choices made a difference.
🌿 Sit with Jesus Moment
Close your eyes and take a slow breath.
Imagine Jesus walking beside you on a path.
He gently points toward a bright path and says,
“This is the good way.”
Sit quietly and ask Him to help you follow God’s way today.
