Kids: Elijah had just had the “showdown” with the prophets of Baal. Even as strong a man of God as Elijah was, he became afraid when he heard that Jezebel wanted him dead. God heard Elijah’s cry out to Him. God kept Elijah safe, fed, and gave him comfort and assurance. This session can lead kids to understand that God hears all prayers. God will answer prayers according to His divine understanding (and may not answer as we ask or want.)

Preschoolers: Before Jesus fed the crowd with just a small amount of food, He prayed and thanked God. God responded, and all the people had food to eat. This session can guide kids to understand the importance of praying to God. God hears people pray.
