How Can I Feel Closer to God?
Chris Morphew
Ages 8-12
We want our children to understand that the truth of Christianity is not based on their feelings. At the same time, we want to help them develop a growing relationship with God. How Can I Feel Closer to God? is a great resource for helping children learn how to rely on God’s Word, His Spirit, and His people as they seek and serve God.
Question 1- In chapter 3, Chris discusses the importance of prioritizing our relationship with God. He writes, “And so the real question isn’t, ‘Are you busy?’—because we’re all filling our time with something. The real question is, ‘What are you busy with?’” How do you spend your time each week?
Discussion Guide - Together, map out a schedule of your week. How much time does your family spend seeking God through His Word, prayer, and serving others? What changes might your family need to make in how you spend your time?
Question 2 - What parts of chapter 5 caught your attention? How might you start to model your prayer life after what Jesus modeled in Scripture?
Discussion Guide - Discuss any parts of the chapter that stood out to you and things you want to begin incorporating in prayer. Then, spend time praying together as a family.
Question 3 - Chapter 7 discussed the importance of spending time with God’s people. How is your family currently involved in church? How could you continue to grow relationships there?
Discussion Guide - Discuss ways you are currently involved in church and things you could do to start growing closer to your church family.
Bonus Question - If you have taken your children through the Foundation Studying the Bible Curriculum, ask, “What truths about studying Scripture have helped you grow closer in your relationship to God?”
Discussion Guide - Discuss the different skills you learned in the curriculum and the truths about God you have learned as you’ve applied those skills to your study of Scripture.
