Main Point:  As a Follower of Christ, I will look to God for comfort

Bible Story:  Jesus Raises Lazarus (John 11)

** Bible Verse:  “God blesses those who mourn, for they will be comforted.”  Matthew 5:4 (NLT)

Family activity

Take a tour of comfort through your home. Have each member of the family take the rest of the family to his or her place in the home that is the most comfortable to him or her. For one family member it might be where she works out on the treadmill because she can forget about other worries. For one family member it might be in a big chair with a good book. For another family member it might be taking a nap on the couch. For another it might be sitting in the kitchen eating a favorite snack. Remind your family that when we think about things and activities that give us comfort, we should remember that we can find comfort from God by praying to Him in difficult times. Just like we go to a favorite spot or a favorite activity for comfort, we can go to God for comfort by praying to Him and reading the Bible
