Scripture (ESV):

Genesis 37:23-28

Genesis 50:15-20


Teaching Notes:

- God longs to redeem us. 

- Your pain can't cancel God's plan.

- While you're waiting, God is working.

- God's silence is not God's absence. 

- God can redeem what you wish you could remove.


Reflection Questions:

1. What painful chapter of your story would you be most tempted erase if you could? How has that experience shaped the way you see yourself and God?

2. What wound in your life do you need to acknowledge honestly rather than minimize or pretend it didn't hurt? What’s preventing you from taking that step? 

3. Where might you currently be tempted to believe that God’s silence means His absence? What would change if you genuinely believed, while I’m waiting, God is working?

4. Looking back over your life, can you identify a season when you couldn't see what God was doing but can now recognize how He was preparing, protecting, providing, or shaping you? How does seeing God in that season shape the way you feel about your current season? 

5. Is there something that happened to you that you still allow to define your identity or your future? What would it look like to believe that your pain can’t cancel God’s plan?
