🎱 Pool Table Station: When Life Doesn't Go As Planned

Just like in pool, sometimes our shots don’t land where we aimed. Life can feel unpredictable, and plans can change unexpectedly.

How to Pray at This Station

Step 1: Think About Your “Missed Shots”

  • What’s one thing in your life that didn’t go as you expected recently?
  • Maybe a friendship, school situation, family issue, or future plan?

Step 2: Hold It Like a Pool Ball

  • If there’s an actual pool ball nearby, hold it while you pray
  • Or just imagine holding that situation in your hands

Step 3: Pray With Honesty

  • “God, I’m frustrated about…”
  • “I don’t understand why…”
  • “Help me trust You even when…”

Step 4: Release It to God

  • Imagine placing that pool ball (your situation) in God’s hands
  • Say: “I’m giving this to You, God. Help me trust Your plan.”

Prayer example

“God, sometimes life feels like a missed shot. Help me trust that even when things don’t go as planned, You’re still in control. Give me wisdom to see opportunities in setbacks and strength to keep trying. Amen.”
