I started reading this week's chapter, simply proud that I was reading it a few days before our study was to meet instead of the night before, skim-reading it just so I got the major points. I wasn't really reading it expecting to hear God's voice. I woke up this morning disgruntled, exhausted, and sat down to read this chapter. Not because I thought I needed it, but because it was on my list to "get done". oh how God knew I needed this time and spoke to me... Convicted my heart and turned my spirit 180 degrees back to Him. In the midst of my own created chaos, He met me.
So friends, lets journey together on this week's questions.
1. How often do you feel exhausted, anxious, scattered, or depleted?
2. When you get overwhelmed, do concerns ever consume you? If so, what does that look like in your head and heart?
3. Do you ever catch yourself wondering if God notices everything you are doing? Do you ever doubt you can do all He has called you to do? Are there some things in your life He may not expect or want you to be doing?
4. If Jesus came to your house this past week to spend time with you, would you have been able to walk away from unfinished laundry, dishes, or emails if He wanted to talk with you? Imagine hearing HIm say "You are worried and upset about many things" What were some of your many things?
5. What will you do for the next thirty days to make sure you have a date (Determine A Time Every day) to be with Jesus? Is there someone you can ask to help or to hold you accountable to spending time with God, so you can listen more closely for HIs plans, rest in His promises, and experience His peace?
6. Which of God's promises in this chapter will you cling to so that you don't lose your footing and slip into a pit of discouragement?
7. How can you transition from going to God with a list to going to Him with a listening heart?> What are some practical things that can help you relax and listen to God in the midst of your busy life (walking, journaling, listening to music, taking a bubble bath, etc.)?
