- Read aloud John 14:13, 15:7, 15:16, and 16:23-24. Do you pray as if those verses were true? Why or why not?
- Read Mark 9:22-24. In what ways (if any) do you identify with the father in this story?
- Why do you think many Christians are prone to accept the state of things as "God's sovereign will" and therefore cease to press their plea to the Father the way the widow pressed the unjust judge?
- Read Exodus 31:1-14. What is God's declared judgment against Israel? If you were Moses how would you have responded to God's declaration to eliminate Israel and start over with you? Does it surprise you that God was moved to change His purpose when Moses prayed? Why or why not?
- Read 2 Kings 20:1-11. Does it surprise you that God would declare Hezekiah's impending death as a certainty, only to then change that purpose after Hezekiah's prayer? Why or why not? What is the basis for God's granting of Hezekiah's prayer?
- What do you believe God wants you to pray boldly for?
