Discussion Questions

1. Pastor Drew gave 4 points from this passage.  Which of these four do you find the easiest to believe? Which one is the hardest to believe?

• God knows everything
• God has all power
• God is always there
• God is always for me

2. Verses 1–2 ask, “Where does my help come from?” What are some things people turn to for help before turning to God?  What are you prone to turn to find relief?

3. Why is it important to remember that our Helper is also our Creator?

4. Verse 3 says, “He will not let your foot slip.”  How have you experienced God keeping you steady during difficult times?

5. The psalm says God “will neither slumber nor sleep.”  How does it feel to know that God never takes a break from watching over you? Do you struggle to believe this is true?

6. Verse 5 calls God your “shade at your right hand.”  What does that image say about God’s nearness and care?

7. Verse 7 says, “The Lord will keep you from all harm.” Does this mean we will never face hardship? How do we reconcile this promise with real-life suffering?

8. Verse 8 says, “The Lord will watch over your coming and going.”  What does it mean to you that God is involved in both the big and small movements of your life

9. Which verse or phrase from Psalm 121 do you want to hold onto this week—and why?
