Good Question Week One
Questions
Pray and invite God into this time with Him.
Have you ever thought “why does God allow bad things to happen”?
Did something happen in your life that made you think that?
Read Psalm 100:5 & 1 John 1:5.
God is goodness itself, so where do you think “the bad stuff” comes from?
Read Genesis 2:17.
God gives us a choice, why do you think He does that?
Read Romans 8:28 & Genesis 50:20.
God is working to turn bad things to good, how does that make you feel?
Read Revelation 21:4.
How can you help others who might be going through a similar situation that you’ve also gone through?
Read Isaiah 53:3-6.
Jesus knows what you’re going through because He has also experienced it. He’s in the pain and suffering with us – does that give you a new perspective on things you’ve gone through?
Spiritual Practice
Prayer: Spend time in prayer with God. Thank Him for sending His son, Jesus, to pay for our sins. Thank Jesus for enduring all that pain and suffering so that He would be able to walk with us through our pain and suffering. Ask God to help you take the hard things you’ve gone through and use them to help others who might be going through something similar. Thank God for taking your bad things and turning them to good.
