Process your Sorrow

This Bible study on Psalm 77 teaches us how to process sorrow in healthy ways during worship experiences.

Discussion Guide:

Ice Breaker: Go around your circle and share this week’s highs and lows. What was the best part of your week, and what was the lowest part of your week? 

Q1: What stuck out to you from today’s message? 

Q2: Over 70% of the Psalms are songs of “lament.” Does that information change the way you think about how we sing and worship in church?

Q3: How has God provided for you in the past? How can that encourage you in the future?

Q4: How can you redirect your thoughts before worship during the next service? 

Q5: What are some places in life where you feel a negative attitude, outlook, or perspective has been getting in the way of your worship? How can you bring that to God for renewal? 

Application: If you need to lament, lay it out to God just like the psalmists do. Share your uncensored thoughts with Him, ask for help, and pray for a renewal in your perspective as you process what you’re going through.
