Discussion questions:

What struck you from the podcast?
What does a lack of trust look like for you?
Do you trust the Lord with yourself? Do you trust him with the people you love?
Where do you feel difficulty depending or relying on others?
How trustworthy are you? How can you grow in being trustworthy?

Journal Questions:

Reflect and journal about this scripture: Jeremiah 17:7-8. What does it speak to you personally?
Inviting the Lord to come with you, look at the places where you find it difficult to trust? What lies did you believe that made trust difficult for you?
What new way is Jesus trying to show you? How can you cooperate with him?
What does it mean to say, "Jesus, I trust in You"? Where do you say "Jesus, I trust in You, except…"

Quote to Ponder - "There is nothing more man needs than Divine Mercy – that love which is benevolent, which is compassionate, which raises man above his weakness to the infinite heights to the holiness of God." - St. John Paul II

Scripture for Lectio Divina - "But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit." - Jeremiah 17:7-8
