1. Sometimes we can forget to consult God about the decisions we make. What decisions are you wrestling with that you need to put before the Lord?

 

2. Confession is a tool to get right with God. Do you find yourself practicing the discipline of confession with God? Do you have a friend or two who you can  share your confessions and have them pray with you?

 

3. The Bible teaches us that the Lord corrects the people he loves and disciplines those he calls his own (Hebrews 12:6). Can you share a story of the Lord’s correction in your life? How did God’s correction help you grow as a follower of Jesus?

 

4. One of the challenging truths shared in the message was the corporate reality of our sin. In Daniel 9:5-7, He confesses sins — repents for — and says it’s his responsibility to repent for sins that his ancestors did (even though he didn’t commit them). Why do you think it was important for Daniel to do this? How can we apply this truth to life circumstances today?
