"IN THE PITS BECAUSE OF MY FAMILY" by Abby Kline and Carol Duerksen
YOUTH GROUP LESSON 91
EXPLORE THE BIBLE:
Read the chapter, then do the skit at the end of the session. Give students nametags so everyone knows who they are portraying.
After the skit, discuss:
• What would you have done if you were the judge?
• What do you think of his judgment?
• Do you know what happened in the story, as told in the next chapters in Genesis? Who “won”?

APPLY:
Ask for a volunteer to portray God and put on the Judge’s robe. Then invite students to tell “God” their completion to the sentence: “My family is the pits when ____________________.”
Encourage “God” to give them an answer/resolution that God might actually give. How would God work in this situation? How can this difficult family situation be improved? Open up the discussion to the whole group. Use the Bible to find references if possible.

RESPOND:
Ask students to copy this prayer onto note cards and pray it today, then take it home and continue to pray it.
Lord God, I pray for my family.
Lord God, you know when I am hurt by them. Help me to forgive them.
Lord God, help me to be understanding of my parents.
Lord God, I thank you for everyone in my family. (Name them.)
Lord God, give me peace and love for them all.
