God, Is That You?
PURPOSE:
Does God hear our prayers and answer back?
LOCATION:
Teenager’s Bedroom
PROPS:
• A chair
CHARACTERS:
Taylor—A high school/college girl
God/Jeremy—The voice of God – Taylor’s middle/high school little brother
Dad – Another voice off stage
TIME:
3-4 minutes
PRODUCTION NOTE:
Have Jeremy hide just offstage or some where onstage out of sight. We added a slight echo effect to his voice to make it sound more “Godly.” Our Jeremy then tweaked his own bass when trying to sound like God.
THOUGHTS:
Imagine if God actually answered during one of your prayer sessions.
What if He showed up?
We don’t expect God to be listening. We think we are throwing empty requests into thin air.
In Exodus, Moses prayed and got to hear from God. So did many of the prophets, like Isaiah and Habakkuk, who even dared to question God. God even engaged in a little question and answer time with Habakkuk.
We have to be careful not to accept the answers that the world tosses back to us and mistaken them for God’s response. There is only voice that we should truly obey…and it doesn’t sound anything like your little brother.
THEMES:
PRAYER, OBEDIENCE, BROTHERLY LOVE.
