Discussion Questions

1. What’s something good in your life right now that you don’t want to rush past?

2. The Psalms show us that we don’t have to clean up our emotions before coming to God. What emotion has been taking up the most space in you lately—joy, sadness, anger, anxiety, gratitude, disappointment, or something else? What might it look like to bring that emotion honestly to God instead of carrying it by yourself?

3. Peter tells Jesus, “Lord, to whom would we go?” When life feels difficult, uncertain, or out of your control, where do you naturally turn first for comfort or control? What would choosing to turn toward Jesus look like in that situation this week?

4. We heard the phrase, “We forget to remember.” Think about a difficult or dry season you’ve walked through before. What did God show you about Himself in that season that you may need to remember in the season you’re in now?

5. Read Lamentations 3:19–26 together. Like David in Psalm 63, the writer is experiencing pain but intentionally calls God’s character to mind.

a. What changes in the writer’s perspective when he moves from focusing on his circumstances to

remembering who God is?

b. Which truth about God in this passage do you most need to remember right now, and how could

remembering it affect the way you respond to your circumstances?

6. The message asked, “What are you trying to accomplish on your own right now that you could actually bring God into?” What is one situation you’ve been trying to manage, fix, or control without much dependence on God? What would it practically look like to invite Him into it this week?
