Questions for Reflection

  1. Why do you think that Jesus cursed the fig tree? Is there a connection between
    cursing the fig tree and clearing the temple grounds?
  2.  Jesus used the withered fig tree to illustrate two important truths about prayer.
    What are they? (11:22-25)
  3.  Why is it necessary for us to forgive others for what they have done? Why is it
    difficult to forgive others? What will happen (or not happen) if you don’t forgive
    others? (11:25; some translations add 11:26)

Challenge

What have you stopped praying for because you thought it was too big for God to answer. Is God calling you to move mountains with him?
