For Kids: I’m going to reiterate to you what I said to you last week. God wants you to pray to him, any time. And I want you all to hear what you can expect from God, when you can expect it, and what you do with it.
For Discussion:

• Why is it important to recognize that God does, in fact, answer the prayers of his faithful? What factors might lead someone to believe that God does not answer prayers? What evidence do we have in history that God answers prayers?  
• Why does God make us wait?  
• What was God telling Daniel to wait for? How does God’s answer to Daniel’s prayer act as great encouragement for all believers of all time?  
• What is the right way to wait for God?  
• How does waiting right encourage us as we pray for the world, for the church, for our families, and for ourselves?
