TRANSFORMED BY THE TRUTH AN Y T HING IS POSSIBLE Questions for Reflection & Discussion

1. How long have you been praying for that which you put in the box on your note sheet? Do you think you are still trusting God to answer that prayer? Why or why “Humanly, this is impossible...” not?

2. Look up and read the following passages out loud: Genesis 18:14; 32:17; Jeremiah 32:27; :26; Mark 14:36; Luke 1:37; and Ephesians “...but with God everything is possible.” 3:20-21. How does the truth that these passages teach apply to the deepest desire of your heart? —Matthew 19:26 (CJB)

If you are not sure it is His will, how could your prayer evolve to be in sync with what you know to be His will? How is faith demonstrated? How do we know His will?
