What drives us to our knees?

Don Schuman’s lesson commentary on “Maintain Bible Study and Prayer” in effect asks “What drives us to our knees?” Here are a few experiences I can recall.

- Learning a deep truth from Scripture
- State of utter helplessness
- Awareness of God’s presence
- Awareness of my depravity
- A longing for God
- Sense of mission for God
- Facing usually adversity

How about you? Amend this list with your own and share it with your class. Discuss their past experiences, but what they see as possible future instances where they will need to be prepared to pray as Daniel did in chapter 9.
