Session Notes:
How would you summarize the message of Jeremiah 8:4-9:22?
How have you experienced grief in the past? Do you find it difficult to weep over heartbreak and tragedy, even in your own life?
It may be difficult for us to think about God expressing lament and grief over fallen Jerusalem. Is lament or grief something you typically think of God expressing? Why or why not?
- Read John 11:28-37. How did Jesus respond to loss in the story? How is that similar or different from Jeremiah 8-9?
Sometimes, we move too quickly through grief. Are there any losses in your life that you need to recognize, go back to, and grieve? Think about how this text might help you as you allow yourself to feel the grief of loss once again.
How does it change your life knowing that God walks with his people even in the midst of their pain?
- Additional Ideas for Practicing Faith: Spend one hour this week alone with the Lord. Ask him if there are any emotions, losses, or pains to explore together. Consider reading this text again during that time and journaling your thoughts.
