With Me - Week 2
- What are the warning signs or behaviors (crankiness, over-scheduling, constant busyness) that reveal you are running on empty even when you refuse to admit it?
- How much of your daily schedule is driven by a genuine calling versus a hidden desire to feel important, productive, or admired by others?
- When you read Psalm 23:2 ("He makes me lie down"), do you naturally hear it as a forceful demand/threat or as a Shepherd creating an environment so safe that you finally can lie down? What keeps you from trusting His provision?
- We heard how even 90 seconds to 2 minutes of quiet begins to lower cortisol and reset our brains. When was the last time you sat in complete, intentional silence for more than two minutes? What makes sitting still and quiet so uncomfortable for us?
- How have you tried to treat rest or peace like another task to conquer on your to-do list? Why is it so difficult for Type-A or high-achieving personalities to accept that rest is something to receive rather than perform?
- Jesus contrasts the heavy, crushing legalism of the religious leaders with His own easy yoke. In what ways have you accidentally picked up a heavy yoke of "strict religious performance" instead of walking alongside Jesus?
- How does the picture of holding the flashlight while Jesus does the heavy lifting change the way you view serving and obedience? What is one area of your life right now where you need to stop trying to "fix the car" yourself and just let Him do the work?
- Moving into this week, what is one concrete thing you need to take off your plate or say "no" to so that you can slow down and match the pace of the Good Shepherd?
