Question 1:
Is waiting hard for you? Why or why not?
Question 2:
In the carol, "Come, Thou Long-Expected Jesus" waiting is tied to our expectations. What are your expectations of God? (i.e. Answer your prayers, fix your problems, etc). Are those realistic expectations?
Question 3:
Read Luke 2: 25 - 32. How can we share with those around us that Jesus is the consolation (the consoling) they need for life's troubles?
Question 4:
What promises from God console you? How does this help you in waiting?
Question 5:
Is it easier to wait knowing that God is always working?
