Reflection Questions:

- Are you dealing with any pain in your life?

- Is there physical pain that you’re dealing with?

· Or emotional pain?

· Or psychological pain?

o If there is, then I would invite you to bring that before God during this time of silence and ask Him to minister to you in that place.

· Are you hurting somehow?

o If there isn’t a current pain that comes to mind, perhaps there is a past time of pain that you can think … and I would invite you to use this time to see how that pain manifested itself in other ways?

- Ask God to give you insight.

- Did your physical pain cause you to withdraw from God and the people around you?

- Did your emotional pain cause you to react harshly with your family or friends?

o Or perhaps you know someone in physical, or emotional, or psychological pain right now, and perhaps this is a time for you to bring that person before God (like the friends of the paralytic who lowered their friend to Jesus through the roof).

- Perhaps this is a time to lay your friend or family member at the feet of Jesus and just stay in the presence of Jesus for these 10 minutes, attentive to what He might be doing or saying to you about this dear one.
