Psalms 42:1-11. Verses 5, 9, 11, what situation would I want to bring before God today and ask, “Why?” If such a prayer is answered only by silence, what does God expect me to do then?

Romans 15:1-13. What specific opportunity can I find today for putting others before myself in a Christlike way?
Matthew 20:1-16. If for the next month I looked for ways to practice Jesus’ economics instead of the world’s economics, how would my life be different?
