Discussion Questions
7 questions1.Lysa names the fear of missing God's will as one of the primary reasons people either over-commit (to cover all the bases) or under-commit (paralyzed by the fear of choosing wrong). Which tendency do you lean toward, and why?
2.She offers a reassuring reframe: God is not hiding His will from us like a treasure hunt designed to trip us up. He is a Good Father who wants us to know how to walk with Him. How does that image of God change how you approach decision-making?
3.Proverbs 16:9 says, "In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps." What is the proper balance between planning wisely and trusting God to redirect? Have you experienced God redirecting a plan of yours in a way that turned out to be better?
