Psalm 41: Honesty with God

  1. What do you miss the most about physically worshipping together with our church family? 

  2. Read Psalm 42. What verse or verses resonate with you right now and why?

  3. Are we being honest with ourselves and others about how we are really feeling right now? If so, how has this helped us navigate our new normal? If not, what is stopping us from processing our disappointment and negative emotions?  

  4. Are we being honest with God about how we are really feeling right now? If so, how has this helped us navigate our new normal? If not, what is stopping us from being honest with God? 

  5. God’s character and attributes are vast. God is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Is there a particular aspect of who God is that is bringing you encouragement in these days? Why is that particular one encouraging to you? 

  6. How can we “preach the gospel to ourselves?” How can we “preach the gospel to others?”

 

The Psalms are such a gift from God. They let us see how we can be honest with God about how we feel, and yet simultaneously trust in Him, His character, and His promises. This week, use one of the Psalms as a template to write your own Psalm to God that expresses how you really feel and how at the same time you are trusting Him, His faithfulness, and His never-ending love.
