Welcome!Quiet Time is a special time that you set aside each day to read God’s Word to get to know Him better. It is also an important part of Olympians, a fun Bible centered program for kids just like you in grades 1-6! CHALLENGERS (GRADES 1, 2), CONQUERORS (GRADES 3, 4), and CHAMPIONS (GRADES 5, 6). Just like Olympic athletes train to be the very best they can be, your Olympian coaches will help train you to be the best you can be for Jesus!

The goal is to please Jesus in everything we say, do and think!

THAT IS WHAT OLYMPIANS

IS ALL ABOUT!

This Quiet Time is a great opportunity for you to have fun together with your child. Here are some tips to help your child with their Quiet Time.

4 Gather supplies needed for activities.

4 Sit down at a prescribed time each day.

4 Use the Bible to look up references together.

4 Talk through the activity and personal application.

4 Complete the week by documenting how many days were completed and writing an encouraging note.

Quiet Time is a special time that you set aside each day to read God’s Word to get to know Him better and to learn how He wants you to live. During this time, God speaks to you through His Holy Word the Bible and you speak to God through prayer. As a Christian, spending this time everyday is very important for you to grow closer to God.

The Quiet Time will help you have a special time each day with the Lord. This booklet is divided into two sections. A Personal Prayer Diary section where you can write prayer requests to remind yourself to pray for people that you care about and things that are happening. The second section is the Quiet Time Activity Pages. Activities are written from the Bible verses for each day of the year to challenge you to understand the truths from God’s Word.

The Quiet Time and the Teen/Adult Quiet Time use the same Scriptures for the week. This makes it easier for your whole family to discuss the passages together.

God loves you and wants to spend time with you!

YOUR DAILY QUIET TIME

1Weekly passages [ Proverbs 21:1–23:25 ]

PROVERBS 21:1-12

How does this proverb help me or inspire me to make a change in my life?

Pick one proverb out of these twelve and write it out here: “

.”

Now write it again in your own words:

Have you ever thought you were on the right path, only to find out you were going the wrong direction?

When you look at the name “PROVERBS”, you see that the first five letters spell

“PROVE”. The man who put these hundreds of proverbs (wise sayings) together

into a book was none other than King Solomon, the wisest king who ever lived. He

wanted to PROVE that God’s wisdom is better than man’s, and that if we live by

God’s truth-principles, we will be successful in our lives. We are going to have quiet

times from these passages in a style much like the TEEN Quiet Times you will be

doing in just a year or two. Let’s see how you do.
