#1 - Reviewing this Past Sunday
Where is God?
Psalm 13
1. Read Psalm 13. Review the message and God’s promises in this
text with a friend or small group.
2. Have you ever felt similar to David in this Psalm, why?
3. Read Psalm 22 with someone and review God’s promises in the
text. What phrases are familiar to you from the New
Testament?
4. How long do you typically wait on God in prayer? Is there a
specific time period to wait?
5. If God doesn't answer your prayers on your time schedule or in
your fashion is that ok, why?
6. Who is someone you could pray for to come to know Christ?
Pray for them trusting God to be faithful to work in their lives.

When God is Questioned
Habakkuk 2:2-5, 3:16-19

dialogue between God and Habakkuk?
2. Are God’s answers surprising to you? What about His answers
are hard to accept?
3. In what ways does Habakkuk question God? What is your first
impression of his prayers to God?
4. How often do you question God? Where does your questioning
lead?
5. Pray that we would be encouraged and challenged by God’s
Word.
