When You Follow Jesus...ਨਮੂਨਾ

STOP, put aside distractions, grab your Bible, pen, and notebook, take a couple of slow, deep breaths, and get cozy.

INVITE Jesus to meet you and tell yourself that God is always present with you, whether you feel something or not today.

READ the Bible passage(s) twice slowly. We recommend using a physical paper Bible for this part. Come back to this screen after you do the readings.

REFLECT on what stands out to you from the passage with these questions (if doing this with the group, respond in the comments with your thoughts).

1- Why do you think Jesus emphasizes that God who sees us in secret will reward us?

2- If you've had a fasting experience, consider how that impacted your faith. Reflect on that and share it with someone if you are willing.

PRAY and REST for a few minutes, and let whatever comes to mind rise up. Don’t dismiss anything that comes to you; just talk to God.

RESPOND by asking God if there is anything from your time today that may encourage others, be helpful to share, or may be a question others have (from the reflect questions). Share it today!
