PEACE IN STILLNESS
Response: How often do you get to experience solitude? How does being

"What do you say about...?"

Day Five
STILLNESS WITH THE SHEPHERD
Response: Jesus' words are always words of peace, rest, and confidence
in the Father - his words invite stillness. The world plagues us with pressures
that invite chaos, confusion, and angst. Which of Jesus' words could you
repeat to yourself this week when facing a familiar challenge on your
unique journey? How can his words bring stillness to your soul even when
outward circumstances may be loud and demanding?

Day Five
HOPE IN THE ETERNITY
Response: If we have a relationship with Jesus, we have hope for a future
in Heaven with Him for eternity. We long for and dream of what it will be like
in Heaven. As we look to our promised future, what are the first three things
you will do when you get to Heaven? (If you are unsure about your future in
Heaven or want to know more about becoming a follower of Jesus, call our
Rising Above offices at 931-526-7473.)
