Questions for Reflection and Discussion:

• What is the weirdest thing you or someone you know has done because you believed it was God’s will?

• When have you felt most desperate to know what God wanted from you? What did you do to try and find out?

• Are you more prone to wait for clear instructions or take the first step and see what happens? How might your tendency both help and at other times hinder a life of faith?

• How does it make you feel to think about initiating something potentially crazy knowing only what God might do?

• What might God be waiting for you to do? Will you do it?
