Bring our worries to Jesus

Read together · Mark 4:35–41

A small invitation

The disciples bring their fear to Jesus in the storm. We can pray honestly when we are worried, too. Prayer is not a promise that every problem will disappear immediately. God’s care can reach us through trusted people and practical help. In this activity, no one has to share a private worry with the group.

Talk together

Choose one question or try all three. Passing, drawing or listening quietly is always welcome.

• Who are trusted adults we can ask for help?
• What words could we use when we do not know how to explain a worry?
• What is one kind response when someone says they are afraid?

A circle of support

You will need: Paper and colored pencils. Keep personal details on your own copy.

1. Draw a circle with “People who help” in the middle. Add trusted adult roles, such as a parent, teacher or parish leader.
2. Around it, add helpful actions: tell a trusted adult, ask a question, take a pause or pray.
3. Practice saying “I need help with something.” Use a made-up example rather than asking for private disclosures.

Put love into practice

Offer gentle company to someone facing a change. Ask what support would be welcome and respect their answer.

Your seven-day rhythm

Spread the kit across a week or choose just one step. Dates and pace are yours.
