Uninvited by Lysa TerKeurst

Week 10: Chapter 9 — When You're in the Deep Weeds of Rejection

Read Chapter 9 of Uninvited. Key Scripture: 2 Corinthians 1:3–5 ("…the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble…")

Lysa steps into the most acute, most overwhelming seasons of rejection and offers not a quick fix, but a companion — and the tools to survive and eventually be transformed by the pain.

Discussion Questions

7 questions

1.Lysa describes what it feels like to be in the "deep weeds" of rejection — when the pain is so acute that normal coping strategies stop working and the wound feels like it is defining you. Have you been in that place? What was it like?

2.She is honest that in seasons of intense rejection, Scripture can feel distant and hollow — more like a fortune cookie than a lifeline. How do you hold onto God when even the Bible feels far away?

3.2 Corinthians 1 tells us God comforts us in our trouble so that we can comfort others with the same comfort we have received. How does knowing that your pain will eventually be used to help someone else change the way you experience it right now?

4.Lysa offers practical guidance for surviving acute rejection seasons — including the ten-day prayer plan. Have you tried any portion of the ten-day prayer practice yet?

5.She talks about the danger of isolation in seasons of deep rejection — the instinct to pull away from community precisely when we need it most. Why does rejection make us want to withdraw, and what does it cost us when we do?

God of all comfort — not just some comfort, all comfort — we bring You the seasons when rejection has been most acute. When the weeds were tallest and we lost sight of the path. We confess that we have sometimes pulled away from You and from others in those moments, trying to survive alone. Thank You that Your comfort is not theoretical. You enter the pain. You sit in the deep weeds with us. Use our wounds, in Your time, to comfort someone else who is right where we have been. Amen.
