Helping Like Jesus

Jesus Prayed for Others

Jesus showed the Apostles how to pray to Heavenly Father. Then Jesus and His Apostles prayed together. He taught them to ask for help and forgiveness when they prayed. Jesus prayed for the Apostles to have faith. He told them to pray often too.

You can read this story in Luke 11:1–4 and John 17.

• Cut out this card to remind you to keep helping like Jesus.

On the first day of third grade, something really embarrassing happened to me. I didn’t want to go back to school. I said a prayer with my mom and dad. The next day, no one laughed or even mentioned it. I am so glad we can pray and ask for help.
