Peace

God Fights For You

"The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace."
Exodus 14:14

Reflection

Israel was trapped between the sea and the army. God said: stay still, I will fight. Not every battle is yours to fight.

Prayer

Father, fight for me today, because I cannot do it alone. Amen!

Talk about it as a family

  1. Where was Israel trapped?
  2. What did God tell them to do?
  3. Which battles can we leave with God?

5-minute activity

Act out the crossing of the Red Sea with two blue blankets: the grown-ups hold them up as walls while the child walks through on dry ground. Read Exodus 14:13-14 and 21-22.
