Exercise 1

Luke 12:22-32 (“Life is more than”)

Think of these as gifts to behold and take in. Notice what part of the passage stands out to you. Reflect on how that connects with you and your life. What are you experiencing, seeing, hearing, feeling as you place yourself in the imagery within the passage?

Exercise 2

Matthew 11: 28-30 (“Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me”).

28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

Notice what draws your attention. Why? How does it connect with you and your life? What yoke or yokes are wearying and burdensome? How does Jesus’ gentle and humble heart speak to you?
