Scripture for Reflection: Matthew 6:26 (NIV)
"Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?”

Questions for Discussion:
  1. When you’re in a hard season, what do you tend to focus on—what’s lacking or what’s good? How can you shift that focus?
  2. What fears are hardest for you to surrender to God? What helps you move toward trust?
  3. Have you seen prayer work miracles in your family? Share if you feel comfortable.
