Discussion Questions

1. If you could ask God one hard question about life or the world, and get a direct answer right now, what would you ask?”

2. Habakkuk starts by crying out to God about injustice and violence (Habakkuk 1:2–4). How do you personally respond when it feels like God isn’t answering your prayers?

3. Why do you think God allows seasons where His plan is unclear or seems delayed?

4. Which part of Habakkuk’s journey—questioning, waiting, or worshiping—do you connect with most right now? Why?

5. God tells Habakkuk to “write down the revelation” and wait for it (Habakkuk 2:2–3). What’s something you’ve been waiting on God for, and how do you keep faith during the wait?

6. What does living by faith look like in your daily life?

7. In Habakkuk 3:17–18, the prophet declares he will rejoice in God even if everything around him fails.

8. What does it take to praise God when circumstances are falling apart?

9. How can remembering God’s past faithfulness strengthen you in current challenges?

10. How can this book help you respond differently the next time you face fear, injustice, or uncertainty?
