Practice
20 minutes
Fear inventory
List what you are afraid of losing. Every item, no editing. Then underline the one that has the most power over you. Leave the underlined item where you can see it this week.
For the group
Name the most comfortable thing in your life right now. Then ask yourself out loud: is it comfort or is it a trap? Let the group weigh in.
For the leader
The group has permission to be honest this week. "That sounds like a trap" is a valid response.
If your group prays together
Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me.
