Kids today spend a lot of time worrying. The Bible makes it very clear that God does not want us worrying, but instead, trusting in Him. Here is a simple, but very meaningful activity that can help your children learn to cast their worries on Jesus.
Find a fair size jar and label it “The Worry Jar.” When you or one of your children have a worry, write it down and put it in the jar. That night, before you go to sleep, pray with your child about the concern. Ask God for peace and for help. After a couple of months, empty the jar together and see how many prayers God answered. Don’t forget to give thanks and praise! As your child grows older, he/she will really be able to trust in God and not worry, but be happy! Hmm! That sounds like a good song!
