Engage Prayer!
Invite kids to share their prayer requests and praises, and to pray for each other. Some kids may not be comfortable praying out loud. That’s OK. Encourage kids to pray silently, thanking God that we can trust Him to help us when we are feeling sad or angry. Tell kids that even though people may disappoint us, God is faithful and always keeps His promises, no matter what!
