BIG IDEA: God always responds to the prayers of His people.
Despite ample evidence in oodles of bible stories, cravings for quick fixes make us doubt that prayer is never a waste of time. It certainly helps when in a pinch or in a trench, but prayer is a dish best suited for a crockpot, not a microwave.
Questions to ponder with your people this week like:
What role do angels play in our prayer life and in carrying out God’s responses?
What word pictures are used in the Bible to help humans grasp spiritual concepts?
What sort of power is there in a faith-filled prayer?
