Song: Peace Be Still

Scripture: Mark 4:37-40

And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full. And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish? And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?

#1 Teach: Many times in life we can feel as if a storm is coming and everything is pouring down on us. In times when we are scared or afraid, turn to God. You can say a prayer, read the scriptures or listen to gospel music. God is always there to calm the storms of life.

#2 Application: Have the children color, write or draw themselves a picture or letter. Have them put it into their 72 hour kit backpack to give them comfort and a smile if their ever comes a time when they will need help “calming the storms” of their own life.
