Here is a 45-minute lesson plan, divided into two halves, that highlights the lesson objective of learning about God’s power to protect (Christian Life and Faith: Biblical and Christian Foundation: God-1a).

The class is designed so it can be divided into two sessions if you like.

First half:

Read “Standing on God’s Word: He Watches over Us.”

Look up Psalm 3:5 for another Bible promise about a good night’s rest.

Read “Standing on God’s Word: Angelic Protection.”

Listen to the audio “Fear Thou Not.”

Read “Standing on God’s Word: Peace in a Storm.”

Listen to the audio “God Is Our Refuge.”

Review the verses from “Crazily Cool Cards Set: Fear Not.” You can also print these out for your child to color.

Second half:

Read “Standing on God’s Word: Saving Power.”

Follow this up by reading:

• Acts 12:4–10
• “Miracles in the Bible: An Angel Opens Prison Doors for the Apostles”
• “The Acts of the Apostles: Prison Doors and a Jailor’s Heart”

Read “Prayer Results” and “Power to Help.”

Listen to the audio “Therefore Will I Deliver Him.”

Read “Standing on God’s Word: Safekeeping. Then with your child, discover and discuss the similarities between the verse from this class, Psalm 34:7, and the verse in the “Saving Power” class, Psalm 91:14. (Hint: Reverencing / loving the Lord.)

Conclude by talking about the times Jesus has protected you and your child, both the obvious times of intervention and the unseen times. Then take some time to thank Jesus for His wonderful care!

Listen to “I Will Bless the Lord at All Times.” Look up Psalm 34 (KJV) and sing along.
