1. When was the last time you had a valley experience?  Did your valley experience show you something new about yourself?  Can you share the nuggets you learned in the valley with someone else?

2. Do you have friends you are honest enough with to share your suffering moments?  What have you learned about sharing your lowest times with people you trust?  Has healing taken place as you have unburden yourself?

3. When bad things happen in your life have you grown to the place of asking what, instead of why? Can you remember when that spiritual shift took place in your heart? How does it make you feel that spiritual maturation is taking place inside you as you seek the Lord?

4. Have you ever sat in the midst of rock bottom to reflect and meditate on the situation and what it was teaching you? Can you better understand now, why the valley is the place of growth? Do you think the valley is more important than the high place? If yes, explain why?

5. Have you grown to the place that you understand that your worst valley experience will pass?

Share with your group why you feel this way.
