When You Follow Jesus...Sample

STOP, put aside distractions, grab your Bible, pen, and notebook, take a couple of slow, deep breaths, and get cozy.

INVITE Jesus to meet you and tell yourself that God is always present with you, whether you feel something or not today.

READ the Bible passage(s) twice slowly. We recommend using a physical paper Bible for this part. Come back to this screen after you do the readings.

REFLECT on what stands out to you from the passage with these questions (if doing this with the group, respond in the comments with your thoughts).

1- Take a look at 6:11. What do you think Jesus meant when he said we ought to pray, “Give us this day our daily bread”?

2- What do you find you need from God daily? What does it look like to trust God fully for what you need?

PRAY and REST for a few minutes, and let whatever comes to mind rise up. Don’t dismiss anything that comes to you; just talk to God.

RESPOND by asking God if there is anything from your time today that may encourage others, be helpful to share, or may be a question others have (from the reflect questions). Share it today!
