God’s Will and Kingdom — Craft Ideas for The Lord’s Prayer Part 3. In the Lord’s Prayer, we pray that God’s kingdom would come, and that His will would be done. We want to live that out, desiring God’s rule on Earth and telling others about Him and His kingdom. These crafts pair with our Your Will Be Done Sunday School lesson and God’s Will and Kingdom children’s sermon, or grab the free sample lesson from Prayer Power Lab to teach the whole prayer. A “God’s Kingdom Crown” remembers that He is king and in control. A “Choice Jar” helps make decisions that honor and serve the Lord. Let’s get crafty!
