Courage

Courage to Ask for Help

"Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another."
James 5:16

Reflection

It takes courage to say I am struggling. But asking for help is strong, not weak. Nobody was built to carry alone.

Prayer

Lord, give me courage to ask for help when I need it. Amen!

Talk about it as a family

  1. Why is it hard to say "I'm struggling"?
  2. Is asking for help weak or strong?
  3. Who can you ask for help?

5-minute activity
