Discussion
Sometimes we have to do something that we don’t want to do. Your parents may ask you to do the dishes or fold your laundry, and you’d rather read your book or play a video game. We’d rather just be doing something more fun. Sometimes God wants us to do something and we don’t want to do it because it’s hard. Maybe it’s hard to share the Gospel with your friend or neighbor because you feel like you don’t know exactly what to say. When God asks us to do something hard, He is with us and He gives us the strength we need to complete the task. When we rely on Him and trust Him, the hard things become a lot easier.
