Daily Discipleship Guide for 29-MAR-2010
Think about Judas, the person. Why do you think he was chosen to be an apostle? What characteristics do you think he possessed that led him to be chosen as the apostle’s treasurer? How did Judas give up too early on Jesus?
Describe a time in your life when you gave up, failed to see a situation through, or didn’t work through your troubles. What was the result? Were you seeking God’s guidance at this time in your life? In what ways was God guiding you?Read Hebrews 2:17-18 and Hebrews 4:15-16. How is Jesus able to offer us a special help and understanding – a new perspective – when we are tempted and face trouble? Now read Isaiah 40:31. What does this passage tell us about the healing power of God?Please close this session by reading or singing the first and last verses of the hymn, “What a Friend We Have in Jesus.”What a friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and griefs to bear! What a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit, O what needless pain we bear,
all because we do not carry everything to God in prayer.Are we weak and heavy laden, cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge; take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee? Take it to the Lord in prayer! In his arms he’ll take and shield thee; thou wilt find a solace there.
