Questions
- Jesus made them do something they didn’t want to when they were exhausted. How would you have felt? Was Jesus wrong in doing this? How does this push against our modern thinking of comfort? How might he be pushing you to do something you don’t want to do for His sake?
- Where has the enemy or your heart twisted your interpretation of your storms and what Jesus means to use them for?
- Where may Jesus be meeting you in the storm in ways you didn’t expect? Is there something about Jesus you could only see in the storms of life?
Prayer Focus
For Dave and Claire serving in Spain:
-
Transition: we are still experiencing lots of change after being in the States on home assignment, especially the kids. Pray for healthy life rhythms, good family time, and prioritizing time each day with Jesus.
-
Reconnection with North African friends. That we would enter in at a good pace and the Lord would lead us in wisdom in who to prioritize. For the Holy Spirit to be at work in their hearts to draw them to Jesus.
-
For our team as we reconnect and revisit our vision/mission and team goals for the next year. We are also welcoming a short-term apprentice to work with our team for the next two years.
-
We need prayer for wisdom and the Lord’s specific direction as we hope to open a community center in the heart of the neighborhood where many NA people live.
