4. Pray in the words of the hymn “Jesus, Lead Thou On:” 

Jesus, lead Thou on Till our rest is won; 

And although the way be cheerless, 

We will follow calm and fearless. 

Guide us by Thy hand To our fatherland. 

When we seek relief From a long-felt grief, 

When temptations come alluring, 

Make us patient and enduring. 

Show us that bright shore Where we weep no more. 

Jesus, lead Thou on Till our rest is won. 

Heav’nly leader, still direct us, 

Still support, console, protect us, 

Till we safely stand In our fatherland.  

Amen.

3. How does the abundant life that Christ offers change your perspective on this conflict?

2. In spite of the challenges of these losses, identify at least five ways in which you have abundant life because of what Christ has done for you.

1. In what ways has your current conflict caused you to feel that your life is missing something important? What good things have you lost or might you lose because of this conflict?
