MONTHLY FOCUS
GOD MADE ME
Remember This:
“Trust in the Lord
with all your heart.”
Proverbs 3:5, NIV
Say This:
Who can trust God?
I can trust God.
Do This:
MORNING TIME
When you go into your child’s room, say, “Good morning, [name of child]! Guess who can trust God today! (Pick up your child or tickle them.) “YOU CAN! I can trust God, and YOU can trust God!”
DRIVE TIME
As you drive or take a walk, talk about the different things you are driving/walking on, such as a driveway, road, parking lot, highway, rocks, dirt, sticks, etc. Talk about how Jesus helped Peter walk on water. Wow! Only Jesus can do that! Jesus wanted to show Peter that he can trust God, because God really can do anything! And the best part is we can trust God, too!”
CUDDLE TIME
Cuddle with your child this month and pray, “Dear God, thank You for another great day with [name of child]. [He, She] is learning all kinds of new things. I pray we can keep learning about all the things Jesus came to teach us, like how we can trust You with all of our hearts. Help us to keep following Jesus so we can trust You more and more and more. We love You, God. In Jesus’ name, amen.”
BATH TIME
Add a toy boat to bath time. Use your fingers on one hand to be Jesus walking on water towards the boat. Use your fingers on the other hand to be Peter stepping out of the boat and walking on water towards Jesus. Encourage your child to do it, too. You can also do it together—one can be Peter and the other Jesus. Tell your child that Jesus helped Peter walk on water to show him he can trust God.
