PRAYERS
The kindergarten Sunday School class was learning about how God cares for us in times of trouble. The teacher asked the class to draw pictures of things that make them afraid. After they finished drawing, each child explained to the others what he or she had drawn. Five-year-old Scott had created in vivid crayon a looming funnel cloud, a car, and a man. He described how the man could not get his car started and a tornado was coming toward him. “The man really needs to pray, doesn’t he?” asked the teacher. “No,” Scott disagreed. “He needs to run!” We need balance in our lives. There is a time for prayer and a time for deeds. From Mark D. Stucky, Mennonite Church, Elkhart, Indiana
