What We Are Learning In Elementary :: June Week 2
June Overview: Summer is full of adventure, and sometimes adventure feels uncertain. Throughout this series, kids are learning that no matter what they face — fear, sadness, doubt, or loneliness — God is faithful. We may not always know what’s ahead, but we can trust the One who does. God’s got this!
Bible Story: Psalm 13 (David)
Main Point: When I’m sad, I can trust God.
Memory Verse: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.” Proverbs 3:5 (NIV)
As a family, read the Bible story together. Then, watch this week’s lesson video on the eKidz Online YouTube page to continue the conversation.
This week, kids learned about a time when David felt really sad. Instead of hiding how he felt, David talked to God about his sadness. But he didn’t stop there — he chose to remember God still loved him and cared for him. This story helps us see that trusting God when we’re sad doesn’t mean pretending everything is okay. It means talking to God about how we really feel and choosing to believe He is still with us and still good.
💬 Family discussion questions:
