Discussion Starters

Monday—Is prayer easy for you or hard? Why do you think that is?

Tuesday—What drives the widow in the parable to keep pursuing the judge? Why doesn’t she try something else to solve her problem?

Wednesday—Why does Jesus compare God to an unjust judge? What is the point he is trying to drive home?

Thursday—What does this parable teach us to pray for? What must you believe if you are to pray for that with persistence?

Friday—What does it meant to identify with the widow in this parable? Why is that hard for us to do? What is the blessing of doing it?
