Lesson Introduction
Recommended Start Time: 10:15AM - 10:35AMLesson Introduction
Habakkuk’s name means “to wrestle”. This name fits him, because he was a prophet who argued with God. He didn’t understand why God did some of the things He did or let certain things happen.
It’s okay to not totally understand what God is doing - in fact, we find ourselves in that situation a lot! God has plans that we can’t always see, and sometimes it can feel like He’s not doing anything. But we have to trust Him enough to know that His plans are good.
VERSE: Habakkuk 2a
“How long, Lord, must I call for help and you do not listen…”
Habakkuk felt like God wasn’t listening to him, because he couldn’t see his prayers being answered or hear God’s reply.

Wrap It Up!

- Come together and sit in a circle to talk about what they learned today. Ask them the same questions that you asked at the beginning of the day. How are their answers different now that they know more? Talk about what they can go home and tell their family. This is also a time they can update their journals (big kids only) or color the pictures (littles).
- Ask if anyone has a prayer request/praise report. Pray over requests.
- Worship time - Have the kids go find a spot to themselves and have some time with God (play the song below for around 3/5 minutes).
