Discussion Questions
1. What sort of season are you in? A difficult one or an easy season? Why?
2. In difficult seasons, how do you respond? Do you tend to press more into your spiritual life? Or pull away?
3. In what ways can you make the joy of the Lord your strength? And not understanding everything or having a solution to your current problems?
