Title: Rest In A Weary World
Text: Isaiah 40:27-31

The chaos and challenges we face in this world often drain us out and leave us feeling tired and discouraged. Through Isaiah 40, what can we learn about finding real rest for our weary souls?

General Questions:

1. Isaiah 40:27-31 addressed a nation in exile. What does v27 reveal about the state of the people’s hearts and their perspective of God and His works? How does Isaiah remind the people of who God is? How would the people’s renewed understanding of God and His works enable them to respond in their current situation?

Perspective Questions:

1. What roles and responsibilities do we have in our lives? What are some common burdens we carry due to these roles/responsibilities? How might these burdens grow heavier when we forget God? How does this influence the way we live our lives?
2. What is hindering us from trusting God amid the various burdens we carry? How does the passage (Isaiah 40:27-31) encourage us towards trusting God more and allowing Him to renew our strength? What would that deepened trust look like? How would our lives look different when we choose to trust God?

Application Questions:

1. What is a small next step we can take to trust God more in our lives based on areas we feel burdened by? How can the LG support you in taking the next step?
