17. Discussion Question
Typically when we pray, we ask God to do something. But maybe what really needs to happen is that something (attitudes, circumstances) needs to be removed before what we desire can happen.

18. What would the thing you desire most look like if nothing stood in its way?

19. Ask God to show you what the obstacles are and then ask him to remove them.
What if we are the obstacle? How can we have the courage to face God’s answer and get out of his way, if necessary?
