🎶 K A R A O K E V I D E O : "Did You Think to Pray?"
➤ I N T R O D U C T I O N
Ask children the following question:
What time is it right now? (Allow children to search for a watch, clock, or mobile device to find the answer.)
After children have completed the activity, discuss the following:
1) When you wanted to know what time it was, what did you do immediately? (Search for a clock)
2) Why did you search for a clock? (Because we know the clock can tell us the time.)
3) Can a clock teach us about Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ?
4) What are some things we can do if we want to learn truth about Heavenly Father? (Discuss)
Explain: Just like we check the clock to see what time it is, we can ask Heavenly Father when we want to know truth about really important things. In the scriptures we have been asked lots of times by our Heavenly Father to “ask” and we will receive.
