Discussion Questions
7 questions1.Meyer emphasizes 'thinking on purpose' — choosing what you will dwell on rather than letting your circumstances, your memories, or the enemy's suggestions dictate your mental diet. How much of your daily thinking would you describe as purposeful versus accidental? What drives most of your mental content?
2.Joshua 1:8 commands meditating on the Book of the Law 'day and night.' Psalm 1 describes the blessed person as one whose 'delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on it day and night.' Meyer insists this is not optional for the spiritually healthy person. How do you currently make space for meditating on Scripture — not just reading it, but dwelling on it?
3.She describes 'positive imaginations based on God's Word' as one of the most powerful practices available to a believer — not the prosperity-gospel idea of 'name it and claim it,' but the biblical practice of aligning your thinking with God's actual promises. What specific promises of God do you want to begin meditating on more consistently?
a.Choose one specific promise from Scripture relevant to your current struggle. Write it out.
b.What would it look like to return to that promise several times throughout tomorrow?
