The Secret Place (Part 4)
The Secret Place is anywhere we can be alone with Him because He lives within us. In the Secret Place, we can talk, listen and find rest in God.
We can spend as much or as little time in the Secret Place as we like. It might be a few minutes, other times longer, but it is important to do it daily.

Pray
Prayer is simply talking to God. The Bible says that God hears every single one of our prayers.
Think about the bible passage, What you have learnt?, What is standing out for you? Use these words to talk to God about what you are thinking and how you are feeling.
You may like to ask God a question or sit in a moment of silence in your Secret Place and think.
Whether it’s 10 seconds or 10 minutes, gather with your family and spend a moment in prayer.
If you’ve decided to ask Jesus into your life for the first time, we’d love to hear about it! Please let us know.
Parents: if you’d like any further support in discipling your child after this decision please know we’re here to help and would love to provide any support we can.
