I keep my eyes aways on the Lord. With him at my right hand, I wil not be shaken. Psalm 16:8

His Strength to Remain Unshaken

e’re excited to journey wit you as we learn to stand unsaken in tis saken W world. he news is dotted wit terrorist attacks, scool sootings, crime, orriﬁc accidents, economic woes—so many reasons to make us frigtened, worried, and ﬁlled wit anxiety. Yet God didn’t intend for us to live tat way. He promises us His perfect peace wen we and over our worries to Him (Pi-lippians 4:6-7).

As we travel tis ten-week journey togeter, our guiding principle is found in Psalm 16:8: “I keep my eyes always on te L. Wit im at my rigt and, I will not be saken.”his study guide is a companion to te bookUnsakenand is designed to allow tese prayer principles to burrow deep into your eart.

We’ve created lessons you can complete in a group study—or even alone— followed by ﬁve days of personal quiet-time prompts to deepen your prayer life and strengten your relationsip wit te Lord. Sometimes studies can ﬁll us wit wonderful ead knowledge from te Bible. But our goal is to elp te truts of Scripture so penetrate our earts and minds tat we keep our eyes on te Lord and stand unsaken no matter wat craziness tumbles around us.

You’ll see in bot te lessons and te quiet times tat we’ve created expres-sive arts opportunities to elp ensure te verses and important biblical truts don’t stay only in our minds but also take root in our earts. Sometimes you’ll be asked to draw a picture; oter times to artistically write a verse. In any case, please remember tis is not about artistic abilities. Stick ﬁgures are great! he purpose is to elp ingest God’s truts in a way tat can deeply aﬀect our lives.

Unshaken Study Guide and Personal Reﬂections

If you are journeying troug tis material wit a group, you’ll ﬁnd resources in te last sections of tis study guide to enric tat experience: Tips for Lead-ing a Group; Group Prayer Time, wic includes a sample scedule; and Pray-ing in One Accord.

This study was created using the New International Version of the Holy Bible. If you aren’t sure what an answer for aﬁllin space should be, please refer to an NIV version. In addition, sometimes the answers are indicated just below the question.

1 Living Unshaken in a Shaken World

f we turn on te news—even for a couple of minutes—we ave reason to feelI saken. Yet Pilippians 4:4-7 tells us, “Rejoice in te Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. he Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anyting, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, wit tanksgiving, present your requests to God. And te peace of God, wic tran-scends all understanding, will guard your earts and your minds in Crist Jesus.”

Can we really ave peace in tis crazy world? Can we really be unsaken, stand-ing ﬁrm on Crist Jesus, te rock of our salvation? Join us as we look at ow we can use te four steps of prayer to elp us stand unsaken, despite te cra-ziness tumbling around us.

For eac lesson, we encourage you to read te corresponding capter in Unsakenﬁrst, before diving into te questions in tis study guide. If you’re going troug te study wit at least one oter person, ten after reading te capter in te book, review te study guide lesson togeter, reading te text and saring answers to te questions. hen, at te end of eac lesson, are sort reﬂection questions for ﬁve days a week. hese are for you to use individually. To get te most out of eac lesson, spend daily quiet time wit God, asking, “Searc me, God, and know my eart; test me and know my anxious tougts” (Psalm 139:23).

Psalm 16:8 says, “I keep my eyes always on te L. Wit im at my rigt and, I will not be saken.” To be able to really embrace tis, we need to allow God to examine our earts and sow us our anxieties.
