REFLECTION/DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:
Can you think of a time when your need to be right or in control prevented you from receiving help or wisdom from others? How did that affect your ability to handle the situation?
1 Peter 5:6-7 says, “Leave all your worries with Him, because He cares for you.” What's the difference between abandoning our worries and leaving them with God?
What specific worry are you currently carrying that feels too heavy for you? How might your daily life change if you truly believed God could hold that worry for you?
When Jesus called his first disciples in Matthew 4:18-22, they immediately left their nets, boats, and even family to follow him. What do these things represent in our modern lives?
What 'nets' or safety blankets are you holding onto that might be preventing you from fully trusting God? How do you know the difference between being responsible and being overly controlling?
Where do you see a 'self-made' mentality showing up in your own life? How might acknowledging your dependence on others and on God actually make you stronger rather than weaker?
Think about a situation where what you want conflicts with what you sense God might want. How do you practically live out 'not my will, but yours be done' in that specific area of your life?
