// WHY GOD, WHY? PART 2 //
// WHY DIDN’T GOD ANSWER IT? //
Prayer can be both powerful, and confusing. Elijah prayed and brought down fire from heaven, Daniel prayed and was protected from lions. Amazing, right? So why are some prayers answered and some not? This Sunday we learned it comes down to the purpose of prayer; God doesn’t exist to serve us, we exist to serve Him and do HIS will. Prayer exists to help US KNOW GOD BETTER; so we always should consider our relationships, motivations and God’s will when we ask, “Why God, didn’t you answer it?”
• What initial thoughts do you have when you think about prayer?
• Read Mark 11:24-25. Talk about a time when you learned how your relationships with others can impact your relationship with God. Why do you think God cares about our relationships with others?
• On a scale of 1-10, where would your rate your faith in the power of prayer? Why did you give yourself that rating? How can you move your answer closer to 10?
• Share about a time when God didn’t answer a prayer the way you thought He should. What did you learn through that experience?
