Scout’s Answered Prayer A boy scout once lost his way in the woods. He was left behind by his patrol during a hike as part of their outdoor activity. He had tried his best to look for the other scouts but he failed. The sun was so bright and it was extremely hot. He was very thirsty, tired and hungry. He looked for something to eat or drink but his backpack was already empty. He uttered a short prayer while walking carefully. “Lord, I’m hungry and thirsty please give me some food to eat and water to drink. Help me find my brother scouts.” As the scout came close to a big tree, he saw something like a sack-filled with something. “God heard my prayers that’s why he sent me food”, the scout whispered. He hurriedly approached the sack and opened it with his jungle knife. “Oh my!” the boy gasped. There were assorted fruits inside the sack. He ate some fruits and put the rest in his backpack. He continued walking until he found his patrol resting and cheering near a brook. He happily joined his patrol and silently said, “Praise God because you answered my prayers”. Process Questions: 1.
