Teaching The city sits quiet and empty

When you feel sad and lonely, you can tell God all about it - He is always listening.

  • When was a time you felt sad or lonely - maybe you missed a friend, or someone was far away? What helped you feel better?
  • The sad city did something brave: it told God how it felt. Why do you think it's okay to tell God when we're sad?
  • If a friend of yours was feeling lonely today, what is one kind thing you could do to help them?
