Q1 - What’s something in your life right now that feels like a “check engine light” — a situation that keeps bringing anxiety or uncertainty to the surface?

Q2 - Read Philippians 4:6–7 and Matthew 6:34
Paul says not to live in a perpetual state of anxiety but to bring everything to God in prayer. How does seeing anxiety as a signal that points us toward God change the way we respond when it shows up?

Q3 - Read Romans 8:28 and Psalm 115:3
The sermon emphasized that God is sovereign — perfectly involved and in control — even when life feels chaotic. How does believing in God’s sovereignty help us release anxiety about situations we cannot control?

Q4 - Read Matthew 11:28–30 and 1 Peter 5:7
Anxiety often comes from carrying weight that belongs to God. What are some examples of our responsibility versus God’s responsibility, and how can we practically “give God his weight back”?

Q5 - Read Psalm 62:8 and Hebrews 4:16
Paul teaches a progression of prayer: pray honestly about what’s inside, ask specifically for what we want, and reveal the deeper reason behind our request. Why do you think God wants us to pray with that level of honesty about our fears and insecurities?

Q6 - Read Isaiah 26:3 and John 14:27
Paul says the result of bringing our anxiety to God is a peace that “guards our hearts and minds.” What do you think it looks like to experience God’s peace even when the circumstances causing your anxiety haven’t changed yet?
