What are some of the things God has done that compel you to passionately worship Him? What was life like in the pit before God rescued you? When has God given you hope so that you could persevere through a hard time? How have you been changed by the work of God in you, through you, and through his family? Describe some of the times when you were dismayed and disoriented in your faith? What got you through? What are some of your favorite worship songs? Why? How has God changed your tune in the different seasons of your life? In what ways is God moving you to worship him today and in this season of your life? What might that look or sound like as you go from here?
