SESSION 4 Your One Desire
FOR GROUP PARTICIPATION These elements of the study are best used with others in a group setting.
How Did It Go Last Week? Share your successes and trials with the group. (10 minutes)
Were you able to take some time to journal or think about how you naturally go through hard seasons? Where do you tend to lean: toward focusing on the pain or focusing on hope despite the pain? How does your tendencies toward one or the other impact what you tell yourself? Did you have any opportunity to try and listen deeply to others without trying to offer a fix? How was that for you? How did it impact the conversation? How did others respond? And God Said… Read aloud Psalm 27:4 . One thing have I asked of the LORD, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to inquire in his temple. What is the Point? Read these statements aloud and keep them in mind during the video: • Where do you run in times of trouble?
• What is the one desire you have when you face difficult times? • What gospel do you preach to others in the hardest times of life? Petition Pray this together aloud.
Heavenly Father, the one thing we need more than anything else is you! But when we face difficult times, we can get off course. In the midst of the storm, may your presence be our stillness. We ask that you would be our light and our stronghold in times of trouble. When fear threatens, help us to choose to believe in your goodness and rest in your unfailing love. Increase our faith, trusting in your promises even when circumstances seem uncertain. In Jesus' name we pray, amen. Hear the Word
Watch the video. (21 minutes) Let's Talk About That Discuss these questions. (30 minutes)
1. When trouble hits, we all instinctively run to something. Maybe it’s slipping into fix-it mode, scrambling to solve the problem ourselves, turning to screens, sleep, or anything that helps us numb out. Sometimes it’s clinging to a solution that might make a person change or turn our situation around. Whatever it is, that thing becomes our “one thing,” the place we look for rescue. What is your "one thing?"
