House Church #7. Identity. The Gap.

Genesis 2-3.

God Frustrates?

What causes us to turn to God?  The gap.  The gap between what it should be, and what it is.  Frustrations can set in, and will lead us to one of two things:  doubt or dependence.  The choice is ours.  And what we do with the gap, is where we can find life.  To live and thrive, means to pray through the gap, and find God within.  We are not called to be numb.

Numb.  We can find ourselves numb and unable to expect or desire more in the face of the gap.  Sometimes it hurts too much to even be hopeful.  What does God expect us to do?  Lament.  Come before him, with honesty.

Honesty.  Are we honest with our prayers?   Psalm 4.  Psalm 10.  Psalm 13.  Just as examples.  What do our prayers sound like?

What gaps do we see in our lives?

What do we do with the gaps?

How do we pray about the gaps?
