Discussion Questions

Do you find it easy or hard to wait for something?

When have you had to wait longer than you anticipated?  How did you respond?

Are you always prepared, or are you more likely to wing it?

Acting on the Word

Whenever you have to wait this week (in line at the store, to meet someone, etc.), use the time you wait to pray.  Does that change your experience of waiting?
