EMBRACING CHANGE


Reflect on Change:

  • Think about the ways you experienced change during the mission trip. This could be physical, emotional, or spiritual changes. Write down at least one significant change you observed in yourself.


Scripture Reflection:

  • Reflect on Romans 12:2: "Do not conform to the pattern of this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—God’s good, pleasing and perfect will."
  • Consider how stepping out of your usual routine during the mission trip might have helped you to renew your mind. Write about a specific moment when you felt your perspective shift or your understanding deepen.


Food for Thought:

Think about how change can be both challenging and beneficial. Reflect on these questions:

  • How much are you stuck in your ways of thinking and behaving?
  • Do you think that change is generally a good thing? Explain.
  • What is one new experience you could try this week?


Prayer:

  • Spend a few moments in prayer, asking God to help you embrace change and renew your mind. Thank Him for the experiences that have helped you grow and ask for guidance in trying new things.
