Read Psalm 73
Read it again, in a different translation.
- What stands out to you in this Psalm?
- Is there one line or phrase that resonates with you particularly strongly?
Read out verse 15 again. It is the honest confession of a highly regarded religious man – there are things that are inappropriate for him to admit to when he is leading worship. Yet, we still have this Psalm, which shows us that he did feel comfortable admitting his doubts once they had been resolved.
- Who can you confess your doubts and fears to?
- Are there any stories you can tell of times where God came through for you and settled you down?
Now look at verses 16 and 17. Trying to figure things out on his own just leaves Asaph feeling even more troubled. His perspective changes when he draws near to God.
- If you are struggling with doubt and fear, do you let God know about it?
- How do you draw near to God when you are feeling like this?
- What do you think God is saying to you this week?
- How can we pray for you?
