Reflective Questions
Reflecting on Rest: How often do you take time to experience true rest in God? What practical steps could help you move into that “faith rest” that the Holy Spirit invites us into?
Translations and Interpretations: Do you find that reading different Bible translations gives you a new understanding of scripture? What’s one verse or passage that has impacted you more deeply when reading it in a different translation?
Faith in Action: When have you felt the Holy Spirit guiding you to act, speak, or pray for someone? What was the outcome, and how did it affect your faith?
Yahweh Breathing and Meditation: Have you ever tried using breath or meditation as a form of connecting with God? If so, how did it impact your sense of peace or clarity in your relationship with Him?
Embracing Stillness: How comfortable are you with stillness and silence? In what ways might adding moments of stillness transform your daily connection to God?
Entering into the “Seventh Day” Rest: What does it mean to you that God invites us into a place of completed work and rest? How might this understanding change the way you approach challenges or your daily routines?
Image of Christ in Us: How does knowing that you carry the image of Christ affect the way you see yourself and others?
Scripture’s Role in Our Lives: In what ways has scripture, empowered by the Holy Spirit, been transformative in your life?
Challenges of Striving vs. Resting: What areas of your life feel like you’re “striving” rather than “resting”? How could entering into faith rest in these areas bring more peace and balance?
