Key Points
- There are lingering effects to spending so much time isolated from one another.
- It’s ok to not be ok.
- Saying “I’m fine” when we aren’t really fine is not healthy.
- There is power in praise and worship.
- Lament is meant to be a part of our worship.
- Praising God is not for God’s benefit or our own. We praise God because of whoHe is and who we are.
- Sometimes we just have to praise, even if we don’t feel like it. There is a longingfor God deeper than our feelings.
- The more we spin our wheels when we are stuck in a rut, the deeper the rut gets.Jesus tells us to go to Him, and He will give us rest.
Discussion
- Are you really ok?
- What did God reveal to you about yourself as we spent time in lament together?
- Did God reveal anything to you about how you relate to others who are stuck?
- What keeps you from being raw and real with God in your prayers
