FOR PERSONAL APPLICATION These aspects of the study can be used in between group sessions on your own, either with your spouse or individually as part of your devotional and confession life.
Do Something During the week ahead, turn your learning into doing.
1. Take a moment right now to identify one area of your life where you are currently facing difficulty. Write one or two lines about the situation. Next, consider how you can begin to view this difficulty as a way in which God is revealing his grace to you to refine your faith. 2. Take some time to think about how you can ask others for help. What ways might you also practice what you are learning to encourage a friend or family member? Based on what you have learned in this session, what might you say about the reality of God's redemptive grace to help them as they face suffering? Search Me, O God For introspection during the coming week. • Ask God to reveal any areas where you may be misunderstanding or resisting his work in your life, particularly regarding the challenges and hardships you find yourself in. What emotions or thoughts come up when you face difficulty? Give those to God in confession or in surrender. • Pray for the courage to trust God’s redemptive purposes in your life, even when you cannot fully see the outcome. Write out that prayer in a sentence or two.
