3.  Have you felt a loss of identity during these times? Why or why not?

4. Do people around you know you follow Jesus? Why or why not?

5. Do you believe God has the power to change things in your life or on a global scale? If so, why doesn't he?

6. Have you ever prayed a big prayer to God (or known someone who has) and the response seemed to be silence? How did you react?
