Calm and Quiet
This week we look at the first half of verse 2, “Instead, I have calmed and quieted my soul.” In the midst of the chaos of life, we are given a choice. We can allow chaos to control our lives and wreak havoc on our soul, or we can invite Jesus to calm our heart and quiet our soul.
WEEK THREE VIDEO: Instead
Consider these questions:
- Have you ever experienced a Holy Spirit moment where a passage of Scripture is given new life?
- Does the concept of “instead” resonate with you? If so, how?
- How does Jesus’ work in our life bring us to calm, quiet, hope, and trust?
- What are the choices that you are facing in life, and which is God’s preferred option?
ICEBREAKER: Where do you like to go to find calm and quiet?
