We learn from an early age how to navigate the difficult emotions of life. Fear. Sadness. Worry. Loneliness. Rejection. For some of us, we learn to avoid painful emotions. Others of us may “feed” our emotions through various temporary distractions. Still others may hide or cover them up. Yet the Bible teaches us to bring all our hurts to God.
Tell God How You Feel is a discipleship tool for parents to use in engaging their children with their emotions. It is designed to help children learn to bring their emotions to God and tell him about all their sorrows, fears, and hurts. It teaches them the process of Biblical lament.
Tell God How You Feel contains stories about a set of siblings, Mia and Josh. Each child faces difficult emotions and throughout the stories we see their parents help them learn to identify and verbalize their emotions. They teach them about those in the Bible who felt hard emotions. Mia and Josh then learn to pray to God and tell him how they feel. These read aloud stories are ideal for family story times with thoughtful questions and discussion starters at the end of each story.
