DISCUSSION AND REFLECTION QUESTIONS 1. What does an "unfruitful" life look like for a man on reentry? What would a "fruitful" life look like? 2. What things do you tend to complain about or feel you are lacking? How does this "poverty mindset" affect your hope? 3. Read 2 Peter 1:3 out loud. What does it mean that God has already given you everything you need? 4. How can gratitude be a weapon against temptation when you face the frustrations of reentry?
APPLICATION: TAKING IT WITH YOU
This Week's Focus: Practice a Thankful Heart What is one area where you have a "poverty mindset" (feeling you lack the strength, patience, or resources you need)? Write down how 2 Peter 1:3 proves you are spiritually rich in that exact area, and thank God for His provision every day this week. Closing Prayer "Lord, forgive us for our complaining and for focusing on what we don’t have. Help us to see the riches we have in you. We thank you that you have already given us everything we need for life and godliness. Make us men with thankful hearts, ready to live fruitful lives for your glory. Amen."
