THE HARD QUESTION
Abby: Hi Frankie. Did you see the news report
today? My parents had it on when we were eating breakfast. There’s so much ooding and homes destroyed.
Frankie: I know...I can’t believe it!
Abby: Do you think God wasn’t listening to our prayers?
Frankie: Why?
Abby: Because He didn’t stop the hurricane.
Frankie: That’s a tough one Abby! Maybe our parents can help us. Let’s meet back here in an hour and share what answers we nd.
Abby: Ok Frankie! See you soon.
While Abby and Frankie are searching for answers, let’s go back and think a little more about the disciples and how they were feeling during the scary storm. Let’s read Mark 4:38 again.
“Jesus was sleeping at the back of the boat with his head on a cushion. The disciples woke him up, shouting, “Teacher, don’t you care that we’re going to drown?”
