- What is one true thing I know about God, even when I feel afraid?
- What would it look like to leave tomorrow in His hands?
For gratitude
- Name three small mercies from today.
- Who has been a gift to me this week, and have I told them?
- What is something ordinary I would miss if it were gone?
- How has God been faithful to me in a season I once feared?
For renewing your mind
- What thought have I been rehearsing that I need to lay down?
- What verse do I want to carry with me today?
- What is lovely and good that I can dwell on right now?
