2 Digest

Answer from what the passage actually says — stay in the text.

1. What does this passage show me about God?

   • What was troubling the writer at the start of this psalm, and what changed his view?
   • What does he discover about God in verses 23 to 26?

2. What does it show me about people — and about myself?

   • Where are you tempted to think that staying faithful to God is not worth it? Say it as honestly as the psalmist does.

3. What will I obey this week? (a concrete step, with a day)

   • When will you come near to God this week and tell him plainly what you feel, as this writer did?

4. Who will I tell?

   • Who do you know who is discouraged and close to giving up on God? When could you read this psalm with them?

3 Grow

Growth is God's part, not yours. Do the cycle faithfully and trust Him to give the growth (1 Corinthians 3:6–7).
