Session IX, Day 2

Welcome to Friday!  I hope thinking through today's assignment will prepare you to offer support, encouraging words, and hope to others you know who may experience suffering.  Recalling what you discover may even do the same for yourself during times of trial.


ASSIGNMENT:
1.  Review 1 Peter 3:17-22
2.  Think through the following question over the weekend.*  
Have you ever experienced a time of extreme suffering or sorrow and, at the same time, experienced the very real comfort that only God's presence and promises can bring?  How would you give an answer to anyone who might ask how you you survived?


*In our continued quest to 'be prepared', you may find it useful to write your thoughts down so you can refer to them if needed at a future date.
