This is meant to be used for devotional purposes during Lent. Grab a journal, read the passage, pray, look at the questions, think about your answers and then journal.
Thought for the Week:
What does it mean to be disappointed with
the way God is working in your life? Can
you still trust God, even when you see the apparent death and destruction all
around you?
Day 1: Ezekiel 37:1-14
Are there parts of your life that feel dead?
Do you look around you and feel that you are surrounded by
death?
What does it mean for God to give life to that which was dead?
What would new life, look like in the dead parts of your life?
What would it mean for you to allow God to breath life into
those parts of your life?
Do you trust God to breath new life into your life?
Day 2: Psalm 130
Have you ever felt like you are in the “depths,” stuck at the
bottom of a metaphorical pit?
What parts of your life are you ashamed of?
When you are at the bottom of your rope is your first thought
to call out to God?
Do you ever feel that there is no way you could possibly stand
before God?
When
you are at your worst, what does waiting for God look like?
Do you
trust God when you are at your worst? When you find that you are in a dark
place?
What
would redemption look like in your life right now?
Day
3: Romans
8:6-11
What
does it mean to set your mind on the flesh?
What
does it mean to you that Christ dwells within you?
How
does Christ living in you result in righteousness in your life?
How
does his presence in your life affect how you live?
How
does your life reflect the resurrected nature of Christ? Are you “alive”?
Day 4: John 11:1-45
What do the sisters want from Jesus? Do you think they expected
Jesus to raise Lazarus from the dead?
Can we ask too much of God?
Do you think it is alright to tell God you feel like God failed
you?
Have you ever felt like God had failed you?
What was the truth?
How
long did it take for you to see God’s hand at work?
