Morning and Evening: Thursday, March 26

Morning Study:

Text: Psalm 69:1-18

Questions:

1. How did David describe what he was going through in verses 1-3?  Have you ever found yourself feeling like that?  What made you feel that way?
2. What does David say is not hidden from God in verse 5?  What guilt is there in your life that you need to acknowledge?
3. Look at verse 6.  How could those who trust in God be put to shame because of what you have done?
4. What does David ask God to do in verses 13-18?

Prayer Focus: Pray the words of this Psalm for the struggles in your life.

Evening Study:

Evening: Romans 8:12-27

Questions:

1. What spirit did we not receive from God?  What Spirit did we receive?  What obligation do we have to that Spirit?  What promise is made to those who live up to that obligation?
2. To what has creation been subjected?  How do we see that in our world today?  What hope does creation have?
3. What do we hope for?  How does hope cause us to act?
4. How does the Spirit help us as we wait hopefully?  What do those words mean for you?

Prayer focus: You’re not the only one who feels overwhelmed by the struggles of life.  There are families in our church and community that feel like they are being swallowed up in trouble.  Pray for those around you that are suffering.
