信息笔记 SERMON NOTES

经文 : Psalm 137

Discussion Questions

1. Psalm 137 combines the loveliest lyric we can sing with the ugliest emotion we can feel. Reflect and share on which parts of the Psalm you can accept, and which parts make you uncomfortable.

2. It is easy to be honest before God with our hallelujahs and in our hurt; it is not easy to be honest in the dark emotions of our hate. How honest are you in your prayers? Explain.

3. Jesus said, “Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you” (Matthew 6:44). How can we possibly love and pray for such people?

4. Praying our sins to God doesn’t “launder” them. The way of prayer is not to cover them up or wish them away, so we appear respectable. It is to expose them so we can address them and be healed. What negative emotion would you like healed?
