Peace for Kidsنموونە

Say this together: 

When life gets stormy, gloomy, and gray, 

I feel peace trusting God and His good way.

When you watch a basketball player shoot a free throw, people behind the basket try to distract the player so they miss the shot! The best players practice a lot so they can ignore the distractions and focus on making the basket.

You can learn from the best basketball players. Hard times might feel stormy and try to distract you, but, with lots of practice, you can ignore the storm and focus on Jesus. Every time you worry or feel afraid, talk to Jesus about it. Think about what is really true: He loves us, He is with us, and He is in control. When we trust Jesus like that, we’ll find peace, because we are fixing our thoughts on Him.
