King David had to flee into exile when his son Absalom took over his throne. After a long struggle, Absalom died and David was heartbroken. He went into exile to mourn his son. Little ones learned, “God is there when I feel alone.”
KEY PASSAGE: Psalm 25
DRIVING:
Turn on worship music. Share with your kid how singing to God in worship is a great activity to do when they feel alone. It reminds them that He is with them!
EATING:
Ask your child to share if there is ever a time during the day/week that they feel lonely. Encourage them with ideas on how to go to God during those moments to learn to depend on Him. If your child is feeling lonely because of not enough companionship, talk about ways they can make friends and spend more time with
family. Setting aside time every day that is devoted to spending time together is a healthy habit that can help kids feel more secure when they do have time alone such as playing by themselves.
SNUGGLING:
When you’re rocking with your child at night, or reading a bedtime story, choose to read this week’s Bible lesson at least one night of the week. (Psalm 25)
