DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

  1. How does understanding God is near to you and hears you in your difficult circumstances bring you comfort?
  2. How might you practically remind yourself (or someone you love) that God is near in a current trial?
  3. When things are dark and difficult, do you feel comfortable crying out to God with your pain? Why or why not?
  4. How does Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection affect your suffering today?
  5. How do the psalms of lament help give you a language for your own prayers?
