Today we will explore the practice of presence
Journal:
Check in time: Share with the group how you are feeling about asking God to speak into your life
Read 1 Samuel 3:1-10
Discussion Questions:
(1) Why do you think Samuel didn't automatically know that it was God that was calling him?
(2) Have you ever experienced a time when others were pointing you in God's direction?
(3) What if Samuel had not responded to God to the third time? Do you think God would have called a 4th, 40th or 400th time?
(4) What does Samuel mean when he responds, "I am here"?
Take home: Try to plan at least 10 minutes each day to practice being present. Ask God to speak to you.
