Teaching The builders set down their tools

When the good thing God gave you gets hard, you can keep trusting Him - He never gives up.

  • Has anything ever felt too hard, like you wanted to quit? What was it?
  • The builders heard mean words that made them feel like stopping. What are some kind words we can say to help someone keep going?
  • God did not give up on His house, even when it got hard. How does it help to know God never gives up on us?
