Reflection Questions:

​

1. Your Shepherd wants to lead you to green pastures, what do you need to change to be able to follow God’s leading?

2. What keeps you up at night? Are you willing to surrender it to God?

3. Do you spend more time looking for green pastures than you do looking to your Shepherd?
