Teaching David safe behind a strong shield

When someone is unkind to you, you can bring it straight to God - your strong helper who keeps you safe.

  • Has anyone ever been unkind to you? What happened, and how did it make you feel?
  • Instead of being mean back, David told God about his problem. Why do you think that is a braver, better thing to do?
  • David called God his "shield." What does it feel like to know God goes in front of you to keep you safe?
