ASK

I. Have You Ever Been Worried?

Parents, ask your children to share something that they are worried about. Then ask them what do they do when they feel worried and what makes them feel better when they are worried. Take this opportunity to pray for them.

Q: How was David an example of what we must do when we are worried?
A: He prayed to a sovereign God!

“The sovereign cure to worry is prayer.”
–William James

II. Was David Worried?

Q: What was David worried about?
A: The source of his anxiety is described as the “men” (v 4) who are persons of significance or influence.

Q: Why would David say to God, “answer when I call?” Doesn’t that sound rude?
A: David is not intending to be rude, but rather David is showing great confidence that God would answer him when he calls.

Q: What are the three attributes (character traits) of God that David relies on in his prayer?
A: The righteousness of God, the faithfulness of God, and the graciousness of God. 

III. What Should I Do Next Time I Worry?

1. Turn to prayer
2. Have confidence that God will answer
3. Meditate on the attributes of God
4. Speak to your parents so that they can help you seek God.

PRAY

–Pray for God to continue to work in their lives so that they can be saved. If they are already saved, pray that they will continue to find their identity in Christ.

–Pray for people today who are fearful because of the COVID-19 virus.

–Pray for other families, particularly those families of your children’s friends. As much as we miss the gathering together each week, they also miss their friends.

–Pray that God will remove any worries that you or your child may have.
