Navigating life’s challenges can feel overwhelming, but biblical lament offers a powerful way to process sorrow and find hope in God’s promises.

Teaching children to approach their struggles with honest prayer is a gift that equips them for a lifetime of trusting in the Lord. This resource invites families to explore the practice of lament together, building faith and fostering a deeper connection with God.
The printable pack includes a year-long family devotion plan and Scripture-based activities centered around laments found in the Psalms. Each month focuses on a specific passage, guiding families through themes like trusting God in hard times, seeking His presence, and resting in His love.
The materials include devotional readings, journaling prompts, family activity ideas, Scripture art prints, coloring pages, memory verse cards, and 30-day Scripture calendars. This flexible resource allows families to tailor the experience to their needs.
Through these activities, families can learn how to bring their raw emotions to God while affirming His faithfulness and love. Children are encouraged to reflect on the emotions expressed in the Psalms and see how they can pray with honesty and confidence. The devotional readings and guided journaling help connect personal experiences with the truths of Scripture, showing that God is a safe place for every fear, question, and sorrow.
Parents can use this resource to model prayerful dependence on God, demonstrating that lament is not about remaining in sadness but about turning to the One who promises to walk with us through trials. The memory verse cards and Scripture calendars provide practical tools for families to meditate on God’s Word daily, while the art prints and coloring pages create opportunities for creative reflection. These activities reinforce the idea that lament leads to renewed trust and joy in the Lord.
By engaging in this year-long journey, families can strengthen their prayer lives, build a deeper foundation of faith, and grow closer to God and one another. Practicing lament together teaches children that God cares deeply about their struggles and invites them to rely on His unchanging goodness, even in the hardest times.
