The lesson “Dependence on God Rather Than Self” teaches children about how God will always help each person with difficult tasks if he or she asks Him for help. Each child will take turns naming at least three difficult tasks that he or she needs God’s help in completing and will practice praying about those things. The lesson includes guided instructions for the teacher, including preparation, a script, and suggested activities to facilitate further learning in a fun and interactive manner. This lesson is designed for children between 3-5 years, and is the 34th lesson in the 2nd Year Core Curriculum Set and part of the “Leadership Preparation” unit.
