Handing Over Worry
"Casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you."1 Peter 5:7
Reflection
Worry is like a backpack full of rocks. God holds out His hand and says: give that to me. You really can hand it over — He can carry it.
Prayer
Lord, I give You what feels heavy in my chest. Amen!
Talk about it as a family
- What worries are in your backpack today?
- What does God want us to do with our worries?
- How does it feel to hand something over?
5-minute activity
Each person writes a worry on a slip of paper and puts it in a backpack. Then pray together and hand the backpack over to the grown-up, who empties it into a "God's care" box. Read 1 Peter 5:7.
