The hardest trust question of all isn't about people — it's about God Himself, and this chapter invites you to bring your most honest doubts into the open.
Discussion Questions
7 questions1.Lysa names the question many readers are quietly asking: "If God let this happen, can He even be trusted?" What is your version of that question — the specific situation or loss that has made trusting God feel most difficult?
2.She addresses the difference between God allowing something and God approving of it or causing it. Does that distinction help you? Are there limits to how far that distinction carries in your own situation?
3.The chapter confronts the temptation to trust God only when we understand His reasoning. How is that different from actual trust? And yet — is it wrong to want to understand? How does Lysa hold those two impulses together?
a.Is there a specific outcome you've been demanding from God as a condition of your trust — a prayer you need Him to answer a certain way before you'll believe He's for you?
b.What would it mean to trust Him even if that prayer is never answered the way you're asking?
