1) Lamentations 1:1-6
When was Jeremiah writing this? What were his surroundings? What was he mourning?
2) Lamentations 3:1-18
How was Jeremiah feeling? How was he feeling about his relationship with God? What were his conclusions in verses 17-18? Have you ever felt this way? What were the circumstances? What is the solution?
3) Lamentations 3:19-26
According to Jeremiah, what is the solution for feeling helplessness or depression? List what he states about God. How would life be different if the opposite of these things were true about God? Which item on the list is most important to you right now? What does it take to wait on the Lord? What does it mean to wait silently? Why is the silence important?
4) Lamentations 3:31-32
How would focusing on the message of these verses change things for the exiles and Jeremiah?
Lamentations 3:37-41
How would awareness of verses 37-38 change the perspective of Jeremiah and the exiles? How would it change our perspective to focus on these truths during difficult times? What does it take to live out verses 40-41? Are you living like this?
