Finding Peace
In the story Isaiah and the Worry Pack, after Isaiah gives his worries to Jesus, he is finally able to rest.
When we give our worries to Jesus, that space inside us gets filled with something called peace. Peace feels like a warm snuggly blanket wrapped around our heart. Peace makes us feel safe and calm. Having peace doesn’t mean that our problems go away completely. It just means that we can let go of the worry and finally rest, knowing that Jesus is taking care of us.
Have you ever felt peace? How would you describe it? A warm snuggly blanket? A cuddly teddy bear? A hug from your best friend?
Prayer:
Dear Jesus, thank you for the special peace you give us. Help me to feel your peace, especially when I feel worried or afraid.
Activity:
Drawing Peace
What does peace look like to you? Use your imagination to draw a picture of what you think it looks like. If you’re having trouble, use these questions to help:
- Think of a place where you feel calm and safe. What does it look like?
- Think of a person who makes you feel calm and safe. What do they look like?
