SOME PRACTICAL STEPS TO TAKE - Kids in Church

Below are some practical steps for Expecting God to speak.

1. Look up next Sunday's Bible passage and read it at home during the week.
2. Pray for next Sunday's preacher in the middle of the week.
3. Pray often for yourself, that, by His Spirit, God will grown in you a heartfelt expectation that God himself will speak to you as His word is preached.
4. If you can, try not to come to the sermon exhausted but to come rested and ready to pay close attention.
5. Deliberately prepare your mind and heart before the sermon and say to yourself:  'this is when God speaks to me."  Pray again:  "Lord, speak to me.  I am listening.."
