Welcome to the Woodies Kids blog.
This week we are thinking about…
Hope
Hope is a confident belief and expectation in the truths and promises of God.
Let's think about some of the promises of God:
God loves you no matter what you have done
God is always with us so we don't need to be afraid
God will give us strength
God will provide for us
God has gifts for us, these are also called the fruits of the spirit
God has planned our future
God listens to us
God is good
God sent His son Jesus to earth, He died on a cross so that someday we can be in heaven with God
God knew you before you were even born and thinks you are perfect!
TIME TO THINK
Isn't it amazing that even though our minds cannot grasp all the things that God is he cares so much about us! The bible says he even knows how many hairs are on your head (Matthew 10:30) and he loved you before you were even born (Psalm 139).
Sometimes in life things can seem hard, when we feel sad or something bad happens sometimes it feels like it will go on forever. Remember God has promised to be with you so whatever you are going through whether it is a happy time or a sad time God is right there.
Take a moment to pray and ask God to remind you that no matter what, he is always with you.
Dear God,
Sometimes I feel sad, afraid of nervous.
Please help me to feel that you are with me, help me to know your love.
Amen
