Week 16: Chapter 15 — Remembering This When the Next Hard Thing Hits

1.Lysa does not promise that finishing this book means rejection will stop hurting. She promises instead that you will have more resources — more truth, more tools, more practice — when it hits again. How does that honest expectation-setting make the book's message more or less helpful to you?

2.She draws on Deuteronomy 31:8 — "He will never leave you nor forsake you" — as the bedrock promise to carry into future seasons of rejection. Why is the promise of presence more powerful than the promise of protection from pain?

3.Lysa encourages us to build practices now — in the calm seasons — that will be available to us when the next hard thing hits. What practices from this book do you want to establish while things are relatively calm? Be specific.
