Questions to Ask Your Child
Read Mark 5:1-13. What was the man like before he met Jesus? What was he like after Jesus changed him?
Why did Jesus have the power to give the man peace? Who is Jesus?
If we all have trouble because of our sin, how can we ever have peace?
How does trusting in God help you whenever you are worried or anxious about something? (You are reminded that God sees a bigger picture and is the one ultimately in control. You are able to remember aspects of God’s character and how He is the one holding all things together.)
