My Notes

Discussion Questions

As you reflect on the statements of Jesus and the prayers from people all across the world, reflect on the following questions, and maybe even write down your own prayers in response.

  1. What specifically do you need forgiveness for?
  2. How have you forgotten your future home in Christ that is diminishing your present life now?
  3. In what ways do you need to rely on the family Jesus invites you into as you navigate the challenges of life?
  4. In what areas of your life do you feel as though God has forsaken you or left you alone?
  5. What do you feel that you are lacking in life? Ask the Lord to meet you in that need.
  6. How have you relied more on what you can do for God rather than what Jesus has already done for you?
  7. What areas of your life do you need to entrust to God?
