Message: Encourage Yourself
Scripture: Psalms 16:7-11
1) How have the events at the Boston Marathon affected you? How has it challenged your faith? What thoughts/questions are you struggling with?
2) As you reflect back on last weekend’s sermon, what one principle or insight stands out as being particularly helpful, insightful or difficult to grasp? Were you challenged in any area of your personal walk with God?
3) Read Psalms 16:1-11. Write down all of the qualities that David says about God. [e.x. You are my Lord (v2); and The Lord provides all things (v2).]
4) From your list in Question 3, which of these qualities can you agree with, which of these qualities do you struggle with?
5) Are you facing any areas of discouragement, currently? If so, how can you stay focused on the Lord and encourage yourself through the situation. Do you struggle with finding joy?
6) Write down a prayer of encouragement to God, in the prayer, include qualities that you know about God similar to how David wrote his Psalm. If you are comfortable, share your prayer with the group.
