1. What are the things that rob you of joy, and how does the Spirit help you to overcome it?
2. How have you shared in Christ's sufferings? What lessons did you learn from these sufferings?
3. C.S. Lewis says, “Pain insists upon being attended to. God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our consciences, but shouts in our pains. It is his megaphone to rouse a deaf world.” What are the things that God has removed from you so you can hear his shouts?
