Patient in Hard Times

Patient in Hard Times

Play: Give your kids a piece of rope with knots tied all in it.  Tell them that their task is to untie all of the knots and they have two minutes to do it.

Relay:  How did you feel during that game? (anxious, angry, defeated, rushed).  Romans 12:12 tells us that we should be patient in affliction.  This means that in hard times, we should keep going without giving up or getting angry. We all will have hard times in our lives.  Many times, it is in the hard times in life that the world will be able to see Jesus through us by the way that we are being patient.

Obey:

What is something hard that you might have a difficult time being patient?

How can we be patient in hard times?

What can make being patient in hard times easier?

Pray:  Ask God to help you be patient in hard times.

Scripture of the Day: Romans 12:12.
