This week's Life Group Questions
1. Conversation starter: what was the key insight you gained from Sunday’s sermon?
2. Read Isaiah 46:4 and Psalm 55:22. From cradle to grave, from your first day to your last, God promises to take care of you and sustain you.
3. The worries in your life can easily choke the experience of the Father as your Sustainer and can cause doubt to creep in about whether He is really living up to His promise to take care of you.
4. Jesus instructs us to not worry (Matthew 6:25-34). Instead of worrying, He wants us to prioritize the things of God’s Kingdom over the things of self, while counting on our heavenly Father to take care of us (verse 33).
5. Read Lamentations 3:22-23. A fresh batch of God’s mercies is waiting for us every day. Your heavenly Father gives you today what you need for today, and He will give you tomorrow, what you need for tomorrow.

■ Lift up the cares and burdens in your group to the Father, with the assurance that He cares for you (1 Peter 5:6-7).
■ Proclaim Isaiah 46:4 out loud as an “Amen” of what you have just prayed for.
