Reflection Questions:

  1. How do you feel about the idea of “confronting” Jesus with your frustrations, confusions or resistance?

  2. What are some ways you are wrestling with God now?

Spiritual Practice: Prayers of Honesty

“Prayer is not a place to be good, it is a place to be honest. Prayer is not a place to perform, it is a place to be present. Prayer is not a place to be right, it is a place to be known. Prayer is not a place to prove your worth, it is a place to receive worth and offer yourself in truth.”1

As Christians, we sometimes think we have to be a certain way when we pray. On this Tuesday, we invite you to spend some time in honest prayer, honestly sharing with God any anguish, frustration, sorrows, questions, doubts, or concerns, knowing that He hears and cares for you. Allow God to meet you in the honesty of where you are at.
