This Is Me | Scripture Reference: 1 Kings 19
Discuss the following questions with your Small Group:
- How has this series shifted your thoughts and perspective on depression, fear, and anxiety?
- While the emotions of fear, anxiety, and worry are not sin in themselves (and can actually be beneficial to us), how might they lead towards despair and (even) sin?
- What comes to mind when you hear the word ‘anxiety?’
- Read 1 Kings 19:1-5. Elijah has just come off a literal ‘mountain-top’ experience, and quickly plummets to crippling fear and despair. What caused Elijah to feel anxious and fearful in 1 Kings 19:1-5? Has there been a time when you felt like Elijah felt in 1 Kings 19? What led to it? What might that teach you about these situations?
- Read 1 Kings 19:6-18. How does God minister and bring restoration to Elijah? How has he met you in times of great fear and worry?
- What role can God’s Word and His people play in helping us as we deal in different ways with depression, anxiety, and fear?
- Read Philippians 4:4-9. What are Paul’s antidotes for anxiety? What does this passage look like for you personally?
