    WEEK 1

    JOYCE MEYER: “SURRENDER” (2012) As Christians, we can be in a relationship with God that looks more like dating than marriage. We trust in ourselves, stand in ankle-deep water, and look to God only when a need arises. God wants a deeper relationship with us, though. He calls us to surrender, to leave the shore of self-reliance for the deep waters of godly trust.

    • If you think of the word “surrender” what thoughts come to mind?

    • What do you think about the phrase:

    ‘We need to be married to Jesus, not just dating him’?

    • Does surrendering to God mean being

    dominated or giving up your will? What kind of surrender do you think God is seeking?

    • Do you find it hard to give God control of your life? Why? Why not?

    • Describe a time where you surrendered a

    situation to God and then saw him do something amazing?

    • What benefits come with surrendering to God? Can you describe some of these from your own life?
