We learn to navigate the complex emotions of life from a young age. Fear, sadness, worry, loneliness, and rejection are some of the emotions we encounter. Some of us learn to avoid these painful emotions, while others may find temporary distractions to cope. Others may choose to hide or cover up their emotions. However, the Bible teaches us to bring all our hurts to God.

"Tell God How You Feel" is a discipleship tool designed for parents to use with their children. It aims to help children learn to bring their emotions to God and express their hurts. The tool teaches them the process of Biblical lament, which involves expressing emotions in prayer and seeking God's comfort and guidance.

In "Tell God How You Feel," Christina Fox utilizes warm and encouraging story times to engage children with the vivid and descriptive words of the Psalms of Lament.
