Activity 4 - Pray...

Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank you for the wonderful example of Jesus showing us how to be good and obedient to you and that he saved us even though we are not good all of the time.
Please allow the Holy Spirit to help us to be good for you especially in the times we find it really hard.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
