Read these promises from God together!
1. God Will Always Be With Us — Joshua 1:9
“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”
God promises to always be with us, even when we're nervous or afraid.
2. God Will Take Care of You — Philippians 4:19
“And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.”
We can trust God to provide everything we truly need.
3. God Loves You No Matter What — Romans 8:38-39
“Nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
God’s love never changes and nothing can take it away.
4. God Gives Us Peace — John 14:27
“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.”
When we feel worried, God promises to give us peace.
Last time, we talked about faith. Faith is believing God, even though you cannot see Him and sometimes it does not make sense. If we have faith in God, we can believe His promises. Noah believed that God would protect him from the flood. And God did! Then he made another promise--to never flood the whole earth again. The sign of that promise is a rainbow. We can remember God every time we see one in the sky!
In the Bible, God makes LOTS of promises.
Talk about it: Have you ever made a promise to someone that you did not keep? Has anyone ever made a promise to you that they did not keep? How did that make you feel? Would you trust that person to keep a promise next time?
God ALWAYS keeps His promises. He literally cannot break a promise. When we read these promises, we can have faith that He will never let us down.
Let’s look at our list of promises again and choose one to pray over this week. Can you guys help make a drawing of this promise for us to hang up? When we see it this week, we can remember that God takes care of us and keeps His promises!
(You can also look up other promises too if your kids are still engaged or you want a different option to draw)
