Discussion Questions:
1. Can you relate to Israel being invaded by “Strife” and left ravished and broken? How have
you been hurt by various kinds of “Strife” in your life?
2. How does the random order of life frustrate you? What difference does it make to put
items of first importance in their proper place? How does this help you carry your
burdens better?
3. How do priorities affect the peace you experience? How have you seen unhealthy
priorities actually take away peace?
4. Do you believe that having the presence and fullness of God in your life makes you a
“mighty warrior”? Why do we struggle with believing this? What kinds of things does God
want you to overcome through His fullness?
5. Why do we often believe that peace means our problems will be removed? How has God
shown us that He would rather work through our problems than take them out of the
way?
