Questions to Consider
(On your own or with a friend)
What do you currently perceive as the foundation of your life, and how does that influence your decisions and actions?
How do you navigate challenges in your life? Are there specific principles or beliefs that guide you during difficult times?
In what ways do you actively seek to draw near to God in your daily life? How does this practice impact your relationship with Him?
Consider the concept of "holding fast" to the knowledge that God knows you intimately.
How does this knowledge provide comfort and assurance in your journey of faith?
Reflect on moments when you felt the presence of God's mercy in your life.
How does experiencing God's mercy influence your interactions with others and your view of yourself?
Think about areas in your life where you may need to surrender control and trust in God's plan. How does relinquishing control impact your sense of peace and contentment?
