A story about turning bad thoughts to good with prayers of gratitude
The Heart Who Wanted to Lasso Thoughts
God said, “We do not fight
in any usual way.
We catch every thought
and make it obey.”
When a little cowboy gets left out of a fun party, his heart hurts. But God reminds him he can lasso every bad thought!
Focusing on God’s goodness can help us all fight the spiritual stampede and:
- manage disappointment
- be thankful
- find joy in God’s faithfulness
Parents and teachers looking for ways to help kids navigate big feelings will love the StrongHeart Stories, a series of illustrated spiritual tales by Beth Guckenberger and Irina Mileo. Each book helps children develop the language and biblical tools they need—Scripture, worship, rest, confession, prayer, and community—to be strong for the heart battles they face.
In The Heart Who Wanted to Lasso Thoughts, based on 2 Corinthians 10:5, children learn how to be thankful for the good all around them instead of being carried away by negativity. Let’s train an emerging generation to grow strong hearts and sound minds and be free from the power of the enemy!
