WHEN CHILDREN'S HEARTS HURT

By mrhadmin | May 28, 2013

When children’s hearts hurt, it is an opportunity to have in-depth discussion and to share a song that will remain in their memories forever.

Discussion:

What causes our hearts to hurt and feel like they are broken? (Someone we love dies; a family member loses a job; parents announce they are going to divorce; a disaster strikes leaving unbelievable devastation.)

What should we do when our hearts hurt? (Pray and tell God how much we hurt inside. Ask him to help us and trust that He will. Talk with an adult we can trust.)

Does God know when we cry because our hearts are broken? (Yes. Psalm 56:8 tells us that God counts our tears.)

Who can heal a broken heart? (God)

Song: Hole in the Sky (from Get on Board album and Mary Rice Hopkins & Puppet with A Heart DVD).

Chorus:

There’s a hole in the sky
And I think God must cry
Cause it’s raining in my heart
And it’s raining outside
But the clouds have gone away
There’s a brighter day
Cause God’s gonna heal my broken heart inside

It hurts so much when I fall down
I try just to get up
But the storm clouds they roll around
And I have had enough
There are band-aids on my heart
But God sees every tear
He knows the way I feel on a very bad day
And says “Come to me I’m here”

(Repeat Chorus)

Now I’m walking on the sunshine
My worries, they’re all gone
He wipes away each tear that he finds
And now I sing this song
If we didn’t have the clouds in our way
Then we might not see the sun
So I thank God every day
For all that He has done
