DISCUSSION QUESTIONS CHALLENGE COMMIT TO MEMORY

---

OCT. 24/25 IT’S NOT WORKING

God wants us to trust and obey him no matter how many problems we face. Even when we don’t feel like God is answering our prayers right away, we need to continue praying and trusting him. We never know when our prayers could be answered!

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1. Sometimes God gives us a promise, but we have to take a step. Think about your life—what problem seems impossible? Where might God be asking you to take a step of action? 2. Think of an example in your life when you prayed continually for a period of time (weeks, months, years). How did God strengthen your faith during that time? 3. Have you ever felt like giving up on prayer because you felt like God wasn’t answering? What can you do to push past that doubt and continue to trust in God? 4. Examine your current prayer life—how often do you spend time in prayer confessing sin? How can you make that a regular part of your prayer life?

CHALLENGE This week, examine your heart and acknowledge your sins to God. Make a commitment to stand firm in your prayer life.

COMMIT TO MEMORY If I had not confessed the sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened. Psalm 66:18
