  1. How does the concept of God’s timing, as mentioned in Ecclesiastes 3:11, offer hope and perspective during difficult seasons of life?
  2. Share an example of a time when you felt God’s grace and strength during a moment of weakness or trial.
  3. Discuss the significance of surrounding ourselves with encouraging and helpful people during trials. How can we distinguish between those who uplift us and those who may discourage us?
  4. Are there specific promises from the Bible that have been especially meaningful to you in tough times?
  5. Nature is mentioned as a source of rejuvenation for Elijah. How does spending time in nature impact your own well-being and perspective during difficult times?
  6. In Revelation 3:20, Jesus asks us to buy gold tried in fire. How can we view our trials as opportunities to refine our faith and draw closer to God?
