Any believer can do this! Read the introduction, ask your children to look up the verses, and then discuss what they mean and how they apply together. You will be happy you did!----What does it mean to trust God?Go ahead and take a moment and define it. I will wait.Whatever it means, it certainly is more than just saying the words.
