Mission Briefing
A Bible hero mission for kids about slowing down and asking what is true.
Hero: Solomon
Virtue: Wisdom
Best for: Ages 6-12
Time: 10-15 minutes
You need: paper, pencil, and two small objects
Mission Verse
"Give your servant a discerning heart… to distinguish between right and wrong." – 1 Kings 3:9
Meet Solomon
Solomon became king when he was young.
God asked him what he wanted.
Solomon could have asked for riches or power.
Instead, he asked for wisdom.
Later, two women came to him with a hard problem about a baby.
Solomon listened carefully.
He did not rush.
God gave him wisdom to see what was true.
Wisdom means slowing down so you can choose what is right.
Hero Skill: Stop And Think
Wisdom is not just knowing lots of facts.
Wisdom asks good questions.
Solomon teaches kids to pause before choosing.
Your Mission Today: The Wise Choice Pause
You will practise three questions for wise decisions.
What You Need
- Paper
- Pencil
- Two small objects
Step 1: Name A Choice
Put two objects on the table. Let them stand for two choices your child might face.
Step 2: Ask Three Questions
Write these wisdom questions on paper.
- What is true?
- What is kind?
- What is right?
Step 3: Choose Slowly
Pick up the object that matches the wise choice. Say: “I can slow down and ask for wisdom.”
Talk About It
Ages 6-8: What did Solomon ask God for?
Ages 9-10: Why is it hard to slow down before choosing?
Ages 11-12: What question helps you make wise decisions?
Wisdom Practice For This Week
Before one decision each day, pause.
Ask: “What is true, kind, and right?”
Then choose with wisdom.
Parent Note
Solomon gives children a decision-making tool.
Use this mission for ordinary choices: screen time, sharing, friendship, honesty.
The goal is a repeatable pause, not perfect judgment.
Mission Prayer
God,
please give me wisdom.
Help me slow down and choose what is true, kind, and right.
Amen.

♥ Mission Prayer
Dear God, You gave Solomon wisdom because he asked for it. We are asking too. Help us to think clearly, to make good choices, and to know the right thing to do even when it is hard. Give us hearts that want to understand. Amen.
