    • Our attitude during suffering.

Preschool and Elementary

Song, Verse, and Lesson

Questions

  1. Does God cause bad things to happen to us? Why does he allow bad things to happen sometimes?
  2. Can you think of something bad that has happened to you that caused something good in the end?

Activities

  1. On a piece of paper, write “God will never leave me” and draw a picture of you and God. Keep that somewhere in your room that you can see to remind you that no matter what is happening, God is always with you!
  2. Find some empty bottles, wadded up paper, or something broken in your house. See if you can make a sculpture or craft with it. Even more than we can take some bad things (trash) and make something good out of them, God can take the bad things in our lives and turn them into something good.

Middle School

Song, Verse, and Lesson

Questions

  1. When bad things are happening, how can we show that we trust God?
  2. What is something bad that has happened in your life? What is one good thing that came out of that hard time?
  3. What does John 16:33 tell us about hard times? 
  4. Read Ecclesiastes 3:1-11. Do you notice that for everything that seems to be bad, there is a positive? Just like there will be suffering in life, there will be good times too. God is with us and in control through it all!
