4. What forms has God’s shepherding care taken in your life? Reflect on personal experiences where you felt God’s guidance and protection. (Isaiah 40:11)
5. How do you interpret the phrase “prepare the way for the Lord” in your personal life and church?
6. Considering the metaphor of humans as grass that withers, how does this influence your perspective on material wealth and achievements?
7. How have you applied Isaiah 40:30-31 in your life? What does waiting on God look like for you personally?
8. What does it mean to you to ‘hope in the Lord’ (Isaiah 40:31)?
