Life can feel uncertain at times. The uncertainty tempts us to fear, we don't trust that things will be okay. The good news is that there is Someone we can trust in life--no matter what is happening. This month we are discovering that when life begins to feel a little uncertain, we know that we can Press Play and trust that God loves us, has a plan for us, will use us, and has the power to do anything.

Big Idea: I Can Trust God
Bible Story: Jericho - Joshua 5:13-6:27

Verse:
“I (point thumbs to chest)
trust in God. (Point up)
I am not afraid. (cross hands back and forth and shake your head)”
Psalm 56:11 (open hands like a book)

Talk It Through:
1. Who was Joshua? (He was the leader of God’s Army.)
2. What was around the city of Jericho? (A huge wall that went all the way around it!)
3. How do you think Joshua felt when he looked at the big wall?
4. What did God tell Joshua to do? (Blow trumpets and march around the city.)
5. What did Joshua do? (He trusted God and did what God told him to do.)
6. What did God tell them to do on day seven? (He said march around the wall seven times and when Joshua says to shout, shout as loud as they can.)
7. Do you think the army was confused by God’s instructions?
8. What happened after the army marched and shouted? (The walls fell down!)
9. Even when things don’t make sense, can we trust God? (Yes!)
10. Who can trust God? (I can trust God!)

Pray:
Before you pray, make a list of what you want to be when you grow up. When you are done, pray together using the one below or your own.

“Dear God, thank You for letting us dream of what we can grow up and be one day. I think it’s wonderful that [child’s name] wants to be a [occupation they listed]. I pray that as they grow up, they will plan and dream and choose to trust that Your plan is best. We love You, God. In Jesus’ name, amen.”
