What are some words that describe God?

 

You can whisper your words or shout them out!

 

Here is a song that tells some stories about amazing ways God has cared for different people. My favorite part of this song is when the song says,

 

When I’m lost and afraid, all alone in the dark,
You’re with me.
You’re with me!

 

King of Me by Rend Co. Kids

 

 

Our Bible story today tells about another way God took care of some people in a very scary time.

 

There had been no rain for a long time so no food could grow in the fields. Listen to the story to find out what happened!

 

 

 

God loved and cared for Elijah, the widow, and her son. And God loves and cares for you today! Let’s sing this song as a way of saying thank You to God for His love.
