I Can Be Thankful & God is Greater Than My Feelings
It's our last week of the Blueprints Series! This Sunday, preschoolers are learning that "I Feel Happy When I'm Thankful" from the story of Jehoshaphat in 2 Chronicles 19-20 while elementary kids are learning "God Is Greater Than My Feelings" from the same scripture.
Throughout this entire series, we'll be using STOP, LOOK, & LISTEN to learn about how the Lord wants to help us with our emotions.
STOP- to identify how you feel
LOOK- at what's causing you to feel this way
LISTEN- to what God has to say about it
Each week of this series I want share some truth that may fight lies that might be feeding into emotions. This might be for you. It might be for you to share with a kid or parent on Sunday. Or maybe even both!
Truth We Can Remember
- Praise the Lord. Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever. Psalm 106:1
- I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart; I will recount all of your wonderful deeds. Psalm 9:1
- For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline. 2 Timothy 1:7
- But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Galatians 5:22-23
- Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
But even if we don’t feel at ease, God is greater than our feelings, and He knows everything. 1 John 3:20
