Worshipping: Finding God

Journeying and Journaling with God

Worshipping: Finding God

Note: At the end of each chapter of God’s Healing for Life’s Losses: How to Find Hope When You’re Hurting, I include two reflection/action sections. One is Your Journey and one is Your Journal. Today, I’m sharing a few sample Worshipping Journey and Journal interactions to help you on your path of grief and growth—of finding God’s healing hope.

Your Worshipping Journey

1. Satan wants to use suffering to cause you to doubt God and to turn to false idols of the heart. In what ways have you faced such temptation? How are you overcoming them?

2. Facing his suffering, Asaph said, “Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you” (Psalm 73:25). In what ways are you responding to suffering like Asaph?

Your Worshipping Journal

1. How are you finding God even when you don’t find answers?

2. How are you walking with God in the dark and finding Him to be the light of your soul?

3. How are you using your suffering as an opportunity to know God better?

4. Suffering can either shove us far from God or drag us kicking and screaming closer to Him. Which direction do you seem headed?
