Listen Later

đź‘‹ Hey Friends!

Welcome to Carpooling with Jesus — the quick, fun, faith-based podcast for kids and families on the go. Whether you're driving to school, having breakfast, or just hanging out at home, we’re so glad you’re here!

Today, Pastor Justin is answering a question lots of kids (and adults!) wonder about:

👉 If Jesus is God… why did He pray?

Great question. Let’s find out together.

đź“– Bible Verse of the Day

Luke 22:42 –

"Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done."

This verse is one of the most powerful prayers Jesus ever prayed. Right before He was arrested, He cried out to God—and trusted Him completely.

đź’ˇ In This Episode:
  • Why Jesus, even as God’s Son, still prayed

  • What prayer means (it’s not about fancy words!)

  • How we can talk to God anytime, anywhere

  • Jake’s story about his nervous swim meet—and a simple prayer that made all the difference

    đź’¬ What Would Jesus Say?

    "I prayed because I needed to stay close to God. And I want you to pray too. You don’t need fancy words — just talk to God like a best friend because He’s always listening."

    🏊 Jake’s Story:

    Jake was nervous before his first swim meet. What if he messed up? His dad reminded him:

    “Just pray.”
    So Jake whispered a simple prayer:
    "God, I’m nervous. Help me do my best."
    And guess what? He felt peace—and swam with confidence. Prayer helped him remember: God was with him.

    🙌 Living It Out:
    • Jesus prayed to stay close to His Father.

    • We can pray too—when we’re scared, thankful, excited, or confused.

    • You don’t need big words—just an open heart.

      âť“ Question of the Day:

      What’s something you can pray about today?

      Before you jump out of the car, take a moment to share with your family!

      📣 Parent Tip:

      Loving this podcast? Share it with another family you know.

      Big faith starts with small, honest conversations—just like this one.
