1. Read Psalm 46
2. Spend the evening sharing how you’ve been able to do for one what you wish you could do for everyone over the past 10 days.
3. How has experiencing God as your refuge and strength in the past shaped how you walk through hardships today?
4. Do you have a passage of Scripture or particular verse that has been a “snapshot” of a hard season in your life? If so, share it with your community group.

6. Spend time praying by name for those currently in a tight spot in life.
