Session 2 Will He Remove the Difficulty?
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)
Reflecting on the idea of trusting God through difficulty, what specific steps did you take to reframe how you view suffering considering God’s purpose? Did you have any opportunity to consider your struggles as opportunities for growth, perseverance, and hope? Did you have the opportunity to approach someone with vulnerability and share your weakness or reach out for prayer? How did that affect your interactions with others? And God Said… Read aloud Mark 6:49–50 . But when they saw him walking on the sea they thought it was a ghost and cried out, for they all saw him and were terrified. But immediately he spoke to them and said, "Take heart it is I. Do not be afraid." What is the Point? Read these statements aloud and keep them in mind during the video. • What happens inside you when you face unexpected trials or storms? • Are you ever tempted to bring God into the court of your judgement and question his faithfulness and love? Petition Pray this together aloud. Father, we need your help to see our trials correctly. We need your help to see your grace correctly. We need your help to hold on to the truth that you are with us in everything we face. Transform us by the truth that no matter what we face, we are never alone. Let that be the very thing that settles our hearts and calms our fears. In Jesus' name, Amen. Hear the Word
Watch the video. (25 minutes) Let's Talk About That Discuss these questions. (30 minutes)
1. When nothing changes in your circumstances, how might the knowledge that Jesus is with you in what you face change your perspective of your circumstances? Does it give you hope? Does it feel insufficient? Be honest as you consider these questions.
