Ice Breakers
Share a funny story from a situation when reality was completely different than your expectation.
How can expectations be helpful or harmful?
Questions
Pray expectantly to the God who CREATES (2 Kings 19:14-15)
What was your view of prayer growing up (tradition, ritual, lucky charm, solution)?
What is the role of expectation when it comes to praying biblically?
Do you have a “place” (room, park, backyard, coffee shop) that is your primary prayer spot? How would this benefit your prayer time?
Why do biblical prayer stories almost always start with the prayer praising God before making requests?
Pray expectantly to the God who HEARS (2 Kings 19:16-18)
How does it change our expectations of prayer to know that God hears everything we pray?
How is it practically encouraging to know that God doesn’t just listen to our prayers, but actually sympathizes and feels our heartaches?
Pray expectantly to the God who ANSWERS (2 Kings 19:19)
Share stories of times God has answered your prayers.
Do you have any examples of a time God didn’t answer your prayers the way you asked because He had something better in mind?
