DISCUSS

1. Why does God heal some and not others? How have you wrestled with this in your life?
2. Have you ever had a time where you realized God’s bigger plan when all you could see at the time was the next step like Reggie did in stealing 2nd base?
3. What would it look like to live every moment as “Lord willing” like Paul did in his life?
4. How do you make plans but hold them loosely in your life so you are open to God’s Will?
5. How do you see God’s hidden will as beautiful?
6. How has the mystery of God’s will created beauty as the will is revealed in your life and how does that inspire you to seek His will more?

PRAY
Lord, please help me to deepen my understanding of what it means to pray “Lord willing.” I want to begin to see the hard times more as you see them. Thank you that I can trust in your plan as the best plan, but please deepen my trust so that I can enjoy your peace.
