Q1: Have you ever spent time in a real life cave? If so, what was the experience like?

Q2: Have you ever gone through a “cave-like” experience in your life?  What were the circumstances surrounding that time?  What emotions rose up within you during that time?

Q3: Take some time to read Psalm 34, 56, 57 and 142.  Can you relate to what the psalmist is experiencing?  Did these passages give you renewed perspective/hope? If so, how?
