Praise Him, praise
Him, all ye little children
00:00:03.88\00:00:08.09
God is love, God is love
00:00:08.10\00:00:12.33
Praise Him, praise
Him, all ye little children
00:00:12.34\00:00:16.65
God is love, God is love.
00:00:16.66\00:00:20.96
Hi, boys and girls,
have you ever noticed
00:00:23.75\00:00:26.53
that when you
breathe out eventually
00:00:26.54\00:00:28.52
you have to breathe in again?
00:00:28.53\00:00:30.44
And when you breathe
in, eventually you have to
00:00:30.45\00:00:32.79
breathe out again, don't you?
00:00:32.80\00:00:34.28
That's just the
way breathing works.
00:00:34.29\00:00:36.57
Praying works much the
same way that breathing does.
00:00:36.58\00:00:39.69
Now just as you
must breathe constantly
00:00:39.70\00:00:41.68
to stay alive
physically, you must pray
00:00:41.69\00:00:44.53
constantly to
maintain your spiritual life,
00:00:44.54\00:00:47.27
and just like breathing
has two parts inhaling,
00:00:47.28\00:00:51.05
and exhaling,
praying also has two parts.
00:00:51.06\00:00:55.51
And praying includes
both talking and listening.
00:00:55.52\00:00:58.90
Now praying isn't
just talking to God,
00:00:58.91\00:01:01.23
saying Amen and
quickly going on with your day.
00:01:01.24\00:01:04.26
Or right before you go to
bed, quickly praying to God,
00:01:04.27\00:01:07.00
say Amen, jump
into bed, go to sleep.
00:01:07.01\00:01:09.73
That would be like
letting all your breath out
00:01:09.74\00:01:11.92
and never breathing in again.
00:01:11.93\00:01:14.56
Prayer and
meditation are just two words
00:01:14.57\00:01:17.65
that we refer to as
two parts of praying.
00:01:17.66\00:01:21.15
Now when we
pray, we talk to God,
00:01:21.16\00:01:23.45
much the same way
we talk to a friend.
00:01:23.46\00:01:25.89
And when we
meditate, we listen to God
00:01:25.90\00:01:28.54
as He responds to
what we have to say.
00:01:28.55\00:01:31.27
Now when you talk
with your friends,
00:01:31.28\00:01:33.42
we do some of the talking
while they listen, right?
00:01:33.43\00:01:36.64
And then they do some of
the talking, while you listen.
00:01:36.65\00:01:40.08
And a friend
would kind of think it
00:01:40.09\00:01:41.33
rather strange if you call
them up after school one day.
00:01:41.34\00:01:44.00
And let's -- let's say
you said, uh, dear -- uh,
00:01:44.01\00:01:46.69
hello, Andrew,
how are you doing?
00:01:46.70\00:01:48.12
Thank you for playing
with me at school today.
00:01:48.13\00:01:49.67
Uh, by the way, will you study
00:01:49.68\00:01:51.29
with me later for
the test and -- oh yes,
00:01:51.30\00:01:53.36
I need to borrow
your football, bye.
00:01:53.37\00:01:54.96
Click, the receiver goes down.
00:01:56.01\00:01:57.75
Now Andrew would probably be
00:01:57.76\00:01:59.06
thinking, what in the
world, it was rather strange.
00:01:59.07\00:02:01.33
He didn't even
let me answer him.
00:02:01.34\00:02:03.75
Well, boys and
girls, Jesus is the most
00:02:03.76\00:02:05.85
special friend you'll ever have.
00:02:05.86\00:02:07.98
And He wants to hear
what you have to say.
00:02:07.99\00:02:10.00
And He wants to
talk to you as well.
00:02:10.01\00:02:12.68
You may not hear
Him with your ears,
00:02:12.69\00:02:14.91
but you can hear Him through
this word, the Holy Bible.
00:02:14.92\00:02:18.79
And also through his Holy Spirit
00:02:18.80\00:02:20.44
as it speaks to your
heart and to your mind.
00:02:20.45\00:02:22.94
And here's an
idea, why don't you
00:02:22.95\00:02:24.75
try keeping a prayer journal?
00:02:24.76\00:02:26.46
Now I have a
prayer journal here.
00:02:26.47\00:02:28.13
And this is one
that 3ABN puts out.
00:02:28.14\00:02:31.28
I love this
prayer journal because
00:02:31.29\00:02:32.68
it's small enough to
keep in my purse and--
00:02:32.69\00:02:35.15
or you can slip it in
your Bible, boys and girls.
00:02:35.16\00:02:37.46
And in it is all kinds of
places to write things down.
00:02:37.47\00:02:41.16
You can write down
people that you wanna pray for,
00:02:41.17\00:02:44.33
and also place
for answered prayers.
00:02:44.34\00:02:46.55
But I'd also like you
-- to encourage you to
00:02:46.56\00:02:48.37
write down two kinds of things.
00:02:48.38\00:02:50.58
Write your ideas
and your concerns.
00:02:50.59\00:02:53.73
The things you wanna tell Jesus.
00:02:53.74\00:02:55.78
And then next,
write down the thoughts
00:02:55.79\00:02:58.26
and the insights the Holy Spirit
00:02:58.27\00:02:59.95
shares with you
throughout your day.
00:02:59.96\00:03:02.09
Now if you take
the time to do this,
00:03:02.10\00:03:04.41
you will just be
amazed at how much,
00:03:04.42\00:03:07.45
God has to say to you.
00:03:07.46\00:03:09.41
Pretty soon,
praying and meditating
00:03:09.42\00:03:11.80
will become as easy as
breathing in, and breathing out.
00:03:11.81\00:03:15.69
You can find a wonderful example
00:03:15.70\00:03:17.57
of prayer journal in the
Bible, did you know that?
00:03:17.58\00:03:20.07
The Book of Psalms is
King David's prayer journal.
00:03:20.08\00:03:23.18
Read it for yourself.
00:03:23.19\00:03:24.29
As you read through each psalm,
00:03:24.30\00:03:26.32
try to identify the parts
where David was speaking to God.
00:03:26.33\00:03:30.09
And the parts where David was
recording what God said to him.
00:03:30.10\00:03:34.00
Now, boys and girls,
let every breath you take
00:03:34.01\00:03:36.61
remind you to pray
and meditate continually.
00:03:36.62\00:03:39.84
Just like King David.
00:03:39.85\00:03:41.84
And Jesus, thank you
for acting on our prayers
00:03:43.33\00:03:46.27
and dying on the cross for
us, taking our place. Amen.
00:03:46.28\00:03:49.79
Did you ever talk to God above
00:03:58.52\00:04:02.48
Tell Him that you
need a friend to love
00:04:02.49\00:04:06.54
Pray in Jesus' name believing
That God answers prayer
00:04:06.55\00:04:12.87
Have you told Him
all your cares and woes
00:04:14.60\00:04:18.54
Every tiny little fear He knows
00:04:18.55\00:04:22.47
You can know He'll always hear
00:04:22.48\00:04:24.91
And He will answer prayers
00:04:24.92\00:04:28.44
You can whisper
in a crowd to Him
00:04:30.34\00:04:34.45
You can cry when
you're alone to Him
00:04:34.46\00:04:38.40
You don't have to
pray out loud to Him
00:04:38.41\00:04:42.12
He knows your thoughts
00:04:42.13\00:04:44.70
On a lofty
mountain peak He's there
00:04:46.08\00:04:50.05
In the meadow by
a stream He's there
00:04:50.06\00:04:53.64
Everywhere on earth you go
He's been there from the start
00:04:53.65\00:05:01.40
Find the answer
in His word it's true
00:05:01.41\00:05:05.33
You'll be strong
because He walks with you
00:05:05.34\00:05:09.30
By His faithfulness He'll change
you too God answers prayer.
00:05:09.31\00:05:15.42
Mark 11:24 says,
whatever you ask for,
00:05:17.79\00:05:22.10
when you pray,
believe that you'll receive,
00:05:22.11\00:05:25.10
then you will have them.
00:05:25.11\00:05:26.84
You can whisper
in a crowd to Him
00:05:33.58\00:05:37.40
You can cry when
you're alone to Him
00:05:37.41\00:05:41.30
You don't have to
pray out loud to Him

00:10:57.96\00:11:02.96
I want to go to heaven someday
00:12:15.90\00:12:21.70
I want to see Jesus
my friend along the way
00:12:21.71\00:12:27.33
To hear the angels sing
of love that's joy untold
00:12:27.34\00:12:33.18
I'll see the Holy city
and walk on streets of gold
00:12:33.19\00:12:39.17
I want to go to heaven someday
00:12:39.18\00:12:44.70
I want to see all
the animals at play
00:12:44.71\00:12:50.32
To walk with
Joseph and talk with Paul
00:12:50.33\00:12:56.29
To hop, skip, and jump
and not be tired at all
00:12:56.30\00:13:03.01
Do you want to
go to heaven someday
00:13:03.02\00:13:08.43
Then learn about Jesus
and don't forget to pray
00:13:08.44\00:13:14.03
Be kind and be
loving through everyday
00:13:14.04\00:13:19.97
And I'll meet you in
heaven some happy day.
00:13:19.98\00:13:28.72
Family, we are
family Jesus is our God
00:13:40.95\00:13:52.02
And I'm so glad He
brought us all together
00:13:52.03\00:13:58.82
I'm so glad that
the Father is our God.

And while the wave
notes fall on my ear
00:16:29.29\00:16:34.89
Everything false will disappear

My Jesus died
upon the cross for me
00:24:07.08\00:24:11.06
And was raised up glory as He
00:24:11.07\00:24:14.94
He wants to share
with me His victories
00:24:14.95\00:24:18.84
And in my
heart, He wants to live
00:24:18.85\00:24:22.38
We saw there how Jesus loved me
00:24:22.39\00:24:26.19
He came to
retire sadness from me
00:24:26.20\00:24:30.14
And upon Him, He took my sin
00:24:30.15\00:24:33.96
Dear Jesus love now I will see.
