Mini #025
11 pages
Includes 2 printable verse cards created by Brook Noel
Reconnecting with God
Any relationship can be challenging to maintain in today’s busy life. Ask a woman how many close friends she has and most women can easily count them on one hand. Why? A close relationship requires a resource in tight supply for many–time. Combine that with life’s challenges and upsets and sometimes relationships are shaken or shattered. This study explores what happens when our relationship with God is shaken. How do we reconnect? What does the Bible say?
This study is divided into 12 daily doses of devotion. Topics of exploration include:
- Reasons We Lose Touch
- Letting Go
- Doubt
- Searching for God
- Regrets and Mistakes
This study includes 15 daily doses of study.
About Faith Matters: Each study includes….
- Look-Ups (a.ka. Write it Down): Each study contains scripture references around the monthly theme. Look these up in the Bible you are most comfortable with and write them in the provided space.
Reflection Questions: Work through these thoughtfully. Space is provided in the study guide or you can use the private online journal. - Activities: Follow the instructions for the outlined Activities. You may wish to keep a special journal for these Activities.
- Key Verses: Build a deck of cards to celebrate key verses that speak to you. Each week add one verse to your deck. You can write it on a colored index card, design it on a computer, or decorate a card by hand.
- Discussion Topics: Discussion topics are highlighted throughout the study . Login to the study area and you will see a thread started for each of these.
- One or two key verse cards created by Brook Noel
- Access to the general Faith Matters area where you can share favorite scripture, your own key verse cards, prayers and more.
Any relationship can be challenging to maintain in today’s busy life. Ask a woman how many close friends she has and most women can easily count them on one hand. Why? A close relationship requires a resource in tight supply for many-time. The purpose of the Faith Matters Mini is to provide a way to study what the Bible says on a specific topic and provide a simple way to stay present with our faith.
A few important notes about Faith Matters Minis:
1. Everyone is welcome, regardless of religious affiliation or current beliefs. If you have never picked up a Bible, aren’t sure what you believe, or even if you are angry at God, you are welcome here.
2. These are explorations not “rules” At no point will I say (or can anyone else say) “You should …”
3. Respect for everyone is mandatory, this is not an area to debate God’s Word, but to live it.
4. Scripture references are taken from both the Old and New Testaments
5. All topics explored are POSITIVE. I have talked with many women who have left their spiritual practice because it was driven by guilt, negativity, and punishment. The Bible is so filled with positive inspiration and examples and these are my focus.
