It’s easy to get discouraged by past mistakes and feel like we should be perfect already — but God doesn’t see us that way. Encourage your child with this story about Jeremiah and remind them we’re all works in progress.
Step 1
Step 1
Start the Game
Say: Let’s play a game! To start, there are three things I want you to share. I want to know:
- Something specific about you that you want me to know.
- Something you want to know about me.
- Something you’re looking forward to us doing together.

Share Your Own Answers
Respond to the same questions your child just answered. If you’re comfortable doing so, you can also answer their “something you want to know about me” question, too.

Praise & Prayer
Say: Thank you for sharing with me! God put us together for a very special purpose, and I’m so happy to be in your life. In His Word, He says He doesn’t want us to live life alone. God wants us to share our lives — and our time — with others. I’m so grateful to spend time with you and get to know you better!
Share the hope of God’s Word and pray together with your child.
Scripture Verse
“Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed.”
Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for not leaving us to live life alone. Thank You for being in our hearts and for the many helpers You put in our lives. In Jesus’ name, amen.
