SUGGESTIONS FOR COMMUNITY GROUP QUESTIONS   

Remember, these are “suggested” questions. You do not have to go through every single one of them. In fact, some of these questions may prompt other questions that may be important to group members. So, feel the freedom to explore other questions as long as they don’t become “rabbit trails.”

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.

5. Are you more likely to struggle with fear, security or rest in the hardships of life? Why?

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