The Little Shepherd
(c)
“Each morning, before tending his sheep, the little shepherd remembered the baby in the manger. He wanted to speak to God—but he didn’t yet know how.”
“He often felt God’s presence in the whisper of the wind and the warmth of the sun.”
“God, are You listening?”
“One evening, the boy met an older shepherd who prayed every day.”
Boy: “How do you talk to God?”
Older Shepherd: “Like a friend who’s always near.”
“The little shepherd began to whisper his thanks to God—for the stars, the sheep, and the gift of life.”
“When he felt lonely, he told God his worries. When he felt happy, he shared his joy.”
“Each prayer brought him peace, as if God was right beside him.”
“Thank You, God, for hearing me.”
“One day, a storm frightened the flock. The boy prayed for help.”
“Please, Lord, keep my sheep safe!”
“The storm passed, and his heart was calm.”
“God hears every prayer.”
“From that day, the little shepherd prayed morning and night, in good times and bad.”
“Talking to God makes my heart strong.”
“The little shepherd learned that prayer isn’t just words— it’s friendship with God.”
Think About:
1. Why did the little shepherd want to learn to pray?
2. How did prayer help him during the storm?
3. When do you talk to God?
Let’s Work Together: Let’s remember to pray for one another and give thanks every day.
I Will: I will talk to God every day, no matter what happens.
The Importance of Knowing:
Prayer connects us to God’s heart. Through it, we find peace, courage, and strength to keep walking in faith.
