1.Katie faces real tragedy in her work — children who die despite her care, families she cannot save, situations she cannot fix. How does she describe these moments? What is her emotional and spiritual response?

2.The title of this chapter is "When God Asks Hard Things." What are the hardest things God seems to be asking of Katie in this season? What is the hardest thing God has asked of you in a recent season?

3.Isaiah 43:2 promises that when we pass through the waters and fires of life, God will be with us — not that we will be kept from them. How does this distinction matter? Does it comfort you, frustrate you, or both?
