DEAR NOAH
1. What does it mean when people say “God’s timing”?
Sometimes we want to rush into things before God wants us to. God’s timing simply means that
we do WHAT God wants us to do WHEN he wants us to do it.
2. How can Jesus be in my heart and in Heaven?
Jesus lives in Heaven. To ask Jesus to come into your heart is another way of asking Him to be the
Lord or Leader of your life because you believe He is the Son of God.
3. How old was David when he fought Goliath?
We don’t know exactly, but Goliath called him a boy, so it’s safe to say he was young. David was
given King Saul’s armor and had the strength to lift Goliath’s sword, so we know he was strong.
4. My mom says God sees my heart. What does that mean?
It means God knows what you’re thinking. He is the only one who can do that. Lots of people try,
but only God is omniscient, which is a big word that means God knows everything
5. How come everyone I pray for doesn’t get healed…only some?
Never stop praying and never stop believing! Sometimes people are healed quickly and sometimes
it takes time.
6. What does the word “righteous” mean?
It means “in right standing” with God. It means that you are no longer guilty. When we make Jesus
our Lord we are made righteous and will live forever with God in heaven.
7. Can I be friends with someone who doesn’t believe in God?
It just depends on what your definition of friend is. The Bible tells us that “bad company corrupts
good morals,” which means if you hang around people who are negative toward God...you will
start to be negative toward God too.
8. Why doesn’t God always answer all my prayers?
God always responds to his children who pray with faith. Sometimes we don’t see the answer
quickly because there is a spiritual battle going on. That is why you never quit...the Bible calls this
perseverance!
9. Do I have to lift my hands during worship at church?
You don’t have to but you can. Lifting your hands is just one of many forms of worship. The Bible
records people singing, dancing, shouting, and many other ways people worshiped God!
10. Even when my parents put my night light on when I go to bed, I am still very
frightened. What can I do?
God gives us lots of promises that He will protect us. You need to do two things! BELIEVE God
when He says He will protect you, and TRUST that He is strong enough to do it. You are safe and
protected!
