Talk Together

Talk together

  1. Why did Abraham set out even though he did not know where he was going?
  2. Why did Sarah laugh when baby Isaac was born?
  3. Is there something you want to believe and wait for from God?

Prayer

Pray together

God, help me be a child who believes and follows You like Abraham. Even when waiting is hard, help me believe that You always keep Your promises. Just as You gave Isaac, I trust You to give me good things too. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
