Aug 31- Sept 6, Free Come Follow Me, Primary lesson helps

The Lord comforts me and gives me hope.
You or one of your children could read Psalm 102:1–2, looking for how the Lord helps us during our difficulties. How can we find His help? You could also share with each other times when you needed help and felt that God heard your prayers.
For younger students, I recommend bringing a blanket they can wrap up in while you share a time when you felt comfort from your Heavenly Father after he heard your prayer.
For Older students:
God’s word is like a light.
Your children might have fun talking about what it feels like to be in the dark. Or they could discuss things that are hard to do in the dark. You might invite them to do something with their eyes closed, such as draw a picture. What do we learn from Psalm 119:105 about light and the word of God?

Look for something Heavenly Father has given us to help us stay on His path in the following verses: Psalms 119:47–48; 119:105; 1 Nephi 11:25; 2 Nephi 31:20. What can we do to stay on God’s path?
For older students:
Your children might enjoy looking at pictures of the things mentioned in Psalm 119:105. They could place the pictures in order as they read the verse. You could also sing a related song together, such as “Teach Me to Walk in the Light” (Children’s Songbook, 177) or “I Will Walk with Jesus”
Tell them that Jesus is not at the end of the path; he is walking with them(:
Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ know me and love me.
Consider making short lists of things you know about each of your children. As you read the lists one at a time, ask the children to guess who you are describing. Then, after reading Psalm 139:1–3 together, you could list things that Heavenly Father and Jesus know about us (see also Clement M. Matswagothata, "He Knows You by Name," Liahona, May 2026, 50–51).
Write the words of Psalm 139:23–24 on a piece of paper or a board. Invite your children to underline words that describe things God can do for us. Why would we want God to do these things?
Have the children complete these, then gather them and read each one aloud. Let the class guess which child it belongs to. We may not know everything about each other, but Heavenly Father knows us perfectly. He knows what we need, how we feel, and He always hears our prayers.
I can praise the Lord.
Maybe your children could share experiences when someone praised them or told them they did a good job. Share some of the good things from Psalm 146:6–9 that the Lord has done (help your children understand unfamiliar words). Invite your children to talk about other things He does for us. How can we praise Him for those things?
I think it would also be neat to share how we praise God through music. Make homemade musical instruments. And sing some church songs together.
I've included some musical videos.
This is the youth music, very upbeat. I love it!
