Experience & Encounter
These questions are an invitation to experience your life with God. Use them on your own or in community as you seek to follow Jesus.
- As you look back on your life, when was God preparing His plan for you in a way you didn’t see at the time, but you can see it now?
- As you look at your life now, where might it appear that God hasn’t been hearing your prayers for a person or situation that doesn’t seem to be “working out”? In other words, where are you being called to walk by faith and not by sight? (2 Corinthians 5:7)
- Sometimes God lets His people know what their future will hold, but often God just seems to be saying “Trust me…I know the future I have for you and it’s good!” (Jeremiah 29:11) Why might it not be a good thing for us to know exactly what God has planned for our future?
