The Lord is my Shepherd: Week Three

Living in the Overflow


Life Group Questions — From Valley to Overflow

  • What “valley” are you walking through right now?

    Is it disappointment, pressure, loneliness, regret, guilt, shame, anxiety, or uncertainty about the future?

    When you’re in a dark valley, what voice do you tend to listen to most?

    What do you tell yourself and how is that different from what Jesus says about you?

  • Psalm 23 says, “Your rod and your staff, they comfort me.”

    What does it look like to let God’s Word guide you instead of trying to guide yourself?

    What are some ways we try to “fix” ourselves or control our circumstances when we’re hurting?

  • What would it look like to actually follow the Shepherd instead?

    What has God been putting into you in this season—peace, hope, grace, courage, healing, wisdom?

    Where might He be asking you to let that overflow onto someone else?

This week, what is one thing you need to do differently?

Name the valley.

Drop the weight.

Follow the Shepherd.

Let His Word be louder than the whispers.

And let what He puts in you overflow onto somebody else.
