Key Passage: Psalm 23 Icebreaker Question: Based on something you've already done, how might you make it into the Guinness Book of World Records?

Discussion Questions:

1. Read Psalm 23 with your group. 2. Do you believe God cares about what’s going on

in your life? Why or why not? 3. What effect does it have on you to say that God

is not just our Shepherd, but my Shepherd? 4. We’ve been taught that if we want something,

we have to get it ourselves. In what ways do you see that belief played out in your life?

5. What do you need most right now? Can you think of a time when what you wanted, was actually different from what you really needed? Write it down or share with the group.

6. Looking back over your life, can you name the moments that God protected you?

7. Are you walking into a valley, in the midst of one, or coming out of one? Do you ever wonder why you can’t just bypass the valley? Why do you think you’ve been led through certain valleys?

8. What has God done or taught you in the valley that you wouldn’t have learned otherwise? Does the valley experience make you more likely to trust God in the future?

9. Where is God leading you and how can we support you?
