Thanks Before the Answer
"Father, I thank You that You have heard Me."John 11:41
Reflection
Jesus gave thanks before the miracle happened. Thanking beforehand is a very beautiful way of trusting.
Prayer
Lord, thank You even before I see the answer. Amen!
Talk about it as a family
- When did Jesus give thanks?
- Why is thanking beforehand a way of trusting?
- What prayer can we thank God for in advance?
5-minute activity
