KIDS: 21 Days of Fasting and Prayerनमूना

READ: “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”—Psalm 34:18 (NIV)

RESPOND: Sometimes, when someone is going through a really hard time, we might not feel we have the right words to comfort or help them. But it’s so comforting to know that Jesus is near them and will comfort them. But then that leaves us with the question of what should we do while we wait for them to be comforted, right? Well, we should pray for them and remind them of the truth in God’s Word. How amazing would it be to be reminded that you’re not alone and that God is near you when you’re having a really bad day? So, I challenge you to keep an eye out for someone who is having a really hard day and encourage them with the truth of God’s Word and what you have learned about God during a hard time.

PRAY: Jesus, thank You that You are near to me and that You save me. I pray for those that need You to be a little closer today. I pray that they’ll feel comforted by Your presence. Help me remember to pray for those having a hard time and have the courage to be there for others. (Take a little bit of time to remember a friend or family member that is going through a tough experience and pray for them specifically right now,) Thank You for everything Your Word tells me about You. Amen.
