Hi Wes, I got the tech help I needed and can now access the chapters. I would like to share something here . I can't see anywhere else where I can comment at this stage: There is a narrative that is even common among Christians that "my life is about me". But if I was to model my life on Jesus example my narrative would be very different. Jesus met with His Father every morning. He knew He was loved and pleased His Father. He was strengthened and prepared each day for the work of that day. It was His Father that He consistently turned to. The rest of the time Jesus was at work. He worked with people, training those closest to Him; the 3, the 12, the 72 and teaching and healing wherever He went. His work was life giving, physically, spiritually, mentally... His ministry was supported in practical ways by women of means and homes open to Him for meals. He probably followed the same pattern that He instructed the 72 to follow. He didn't concern Himself with tomorrow's provisions. I could model my life according to Jesus and turn down all the voices of church, family, and the world, that tells me I need a hobby or something else for myself, other than the precious time spent with my Father each day. Those voices are actually burdening me with something more I should do. I don't need something more. I only need: "I love you my precious daughter. I am pleased with you. Well done my good and faithful servant." from my heavenly Father.

Hi Wes, I can't seem to find where/how to add comments. Just a heads up for others who haven't seen this weeks Discernment Exercises, I found it easier to start with the last one first.

Hi Everyone I live on the north side of Brisbane. My husband and I are currently seeking God's will about church for us and our adult daughter who is in our care. We also have a son who is living locally. I look forward to listening prayer every week. Even if I can't join in, I love to listen in to what God is saying to everyone else. As God speaks to each one and each one shares, it is easy to see that what we are reading is a living word that can guide us every day. Some people say that the Bible doesn't have all the answers, I don't know about that. I think that's like saying God doesn't have all the answers.
