Naaman the Leper

Today we're going to learn about a man named Naaman. Naaman was very important - he was like a superhero soldier! But Naaman had spots all over his skin that made him sick. The spots were called leprosy.

There was a little girl who worked for Naaman's family. She knew about a special man named Elisha who could help sick people get better. The little girl said, "Naaman should go see Elisha! Elisha can make his spots go away!"

So Naaman went to find Elisha. When he got to Elisha's house, Elisha told him something very simple. Elisha said, "Go wash in the river seven times and you will be all better!"

Naaman was upset! He thought, "That's too easy! I need to do something harder!" But his helpers said, "Naaman, just try it! Go wash in the water!"

So Naaman went to the river. He went splash, splash, splash in the water! One time, two times, three times, four times, five times, six times, seven times! And guess what happened? All his spots went away! His skin was all better!

God helped Naaman get better! Sometimes God helps us in simple ways. When we have problems, we can talk to God and trust Him to help us. God loves us so much!

Let's pray: Dear God, thank you for loving us. Help us when we need you. We love you! Amen.
