"Behold, I am doing a new thing;
now it springs forth,
do you not perceive it?
I will make a way in the wilderness
and rivers in the desert."
(Isaiah 43:19, ESV)
Revelatory Questions
The purpose of these questions is to help you become more aware of God's presence with you, his movement in your life, the new things that he is doing, and his invitations for you to enter deeper and fuller into a new life with him and in him
Some examples:
Which areas of my life is God inviting me to surrender to his care?
Which scripture verses, stories, characters, images is God inviting me to pray with?
How has Jesus loved and sustained me? How is he loving me and sustaining me this day, this moment?
As a new creation in Christ, what is God showing me who he is and who I am? What is my new relationship with God? What's his purpose for my life?
What might God be showing me through the challenges/setbacks that I am facing?
What burdens is Jesus encouraging me to give to him? What difficult experiences and struggles have I not allowed Christ in, still relying on my own wisdom and strength?
How has God been merciful to me? Where in my heart and in my life do I still need God's mercy and grace? To whom is God inviting me to offer mercy and grace?
What new things might God be doing in my life at this time? What new dreams might he be putting in my heart? Whom might God be inviting me to love/serve?
What might God be pruning away from my life? What is he inviting me to let go so I can enter fuller into his love and grace?
How do I experience God's presence/rest in my daily life? What new experience is he inviting me into?
What new choices/steps might God be inviting me to make/take? How might they relate to his greater plan for my life?
What might God want me to know when I feel I failed, or when he seems distant/absent? What might God's invitation for me when I feel weak and vulnerable.
