Discussion question for October 6, 2023.

Elijah prayed seven times for rain and Paul asked three times for healing.  How do you know you should persist in prayer?  How do your prayers change when you don’t see any change?  How do you change in those circumstances?  What causes you to feel hopeless, or resigned, or disappointed?  How should you pray when those temptations come?  What is the appropriate heart attitude for effective prayer?  What sustains you when things seem to get worse instead of better?  How has unanswered prayer caused you to mature spiritually?
