For grades 6-10: Here is a short video called the Green Rubber Band with a few questions to consider on the importance of prayer: https://youtu.be/ZwoUm5B0U7Q
The Green Rubber Band
Lesley tells the story of her total surrender to God for the most unusual reason at the most unsuspecting time.
QUESTIONS FOR DISCUSSION
1. Lesley prayed during a very difficult situation when praying wasn’t something she’d ever done. Why do you think that’s what she chose to do?
2. What makes people turn to prayer in difficult times?
3. Has this time of quarantine been an experience like this for you?
4. Did you get your green rubber band? What was it?
5. Do you think it’s possible to miss the green rubber bands God might be sending you in answer to your prayers? Why or why not?
6. God’s answer wasn’t to send a magic helicopter to pick up her brother. He didn’t change anything about her situation at all. Why was his rubber band enough for her? What did it mean?
7. How did Lesley respond to her answered prayer?
8. How would you have responded?
9. What can you do to better recognize when God answers your prayers?
