Bible Story

Esau's Impatience
Genesis 25:24-34

What could you miss out on by not waiting?

“Wait for the Lord. Be strong and don't lose hope. Wait for the Lord.”

Psalm 27:14, NIrV

Engagement Questions

• What could you miss out on by not waiting?
• Why do you think waiting can be hard for us?
• What are some situations you really want to do better at when it comes to waiting and thinking twice before you act?

Prayer

“Dear God, thank You for giving us patience, and the ability to think not just once, but twice when we need to slow down. Show us how to love others by being patient with them this week. We love You and we pray these things in Jesus’ name. Amen.”
