Discussion Questions

1. Do you think a lot about what might happen in the future, or do you tend to stay in the present moment?

2. Is there an area of your spiritual walk where are you feel like you’ve run out of gas?

3. Have you ever obeyed God, even though you didn’t understand what he was doing? What was that like? What did you learn from that experience?

4. God is in total control, and he will one day right every wrong and restore the whole earth. How might your life be different if you lived with that truth in mind?
