- Dare to hope
- It's easy to be a cynic. The cynic never hopes for anything better, never risks disappointment.
- Where have you given up hope lately in your life?
- Are there any voices of hope for you and your community?
- Could God be calling you to be one of those voices of hope?
- The present of Presence
- Have you ever just "been there" for someone in need?
- What brought you to that place (literally and metaphorically)?
- What good did you really do by your presence?
- Could you have been more effective?
- The school of humility
- How do you think that Jesus learned humility?
- How do you think His prayer life supported that growth in humility?
- Why do you think that it was so important for Him to be humble?
- How can we learn to be more humble?
- Time and space made holy
- I imagine that the disciples were well accustomed to Jesus getting off by Himself to pray, yet this time doubtless seemed different somehow, more urgent.
- Where are the special places, special times, special rituals, people, seasons where you feel closest to God?
- Is it merely because you have found God there before, or do you think that it is something more?
- How can all of life become that sort of a doorway?
Preparation for Reconciliation:
- Where is God calling me out of my comfort zone?
- Do I have to be betting something "done" in order to serve God?
- Where is God teaching me to be more like Jesus, more humble?
- What in my life is God ready to consecrate today?
Shalom!
