Before we can tame our thoughts, we need to identify what is stealing our peace in the first place — the patterns, voices, and enemies that hijack our minds and redirect us away from life. Come ready to name your particular thieves.
Discussion Questions
8 questions1.Lucado describes various "thought thieves" — patterns of thinking that rob us of peace and joy. Which of the thieves he identifies (worry, guilt, shame, doubt, bitterness, or fear) feels most active in your life right now?
2.Jesus said in John 10:10 that the thief comes to "steal, kill, and destroy." How does seeing destructive thought patterns as part of a spiritual enemy's strategy change the way you respond to them — rather than simply blaming yourself for having them?
3.Think about your most persistent negative thought pattern. How long have you been carrying it? Can you trace where it began — a wound, a failure, a relationship, a lie you were told?
