Practice
Think about an area of your life where doing the right thing has become difficult. Maybe it’s a relationship, a responsibility, or a step of obedience you’ve been avoiding.
This week, identify one thing you need to keep doing, even though it’s hard. Pray for God’s strength, then take one practical step to remain faithful.
Share and Pray
In groups of 3–4, share a high, a low, and a “buffalo.” Pray together.
Close
Close by sharing who your “one more” is.
Pray together for an opportunity to share your faith with them in the near future.
