Smoke & Mirrors Week 1

Questions

• Pray and invite God into this time with Him.

• Have you ever heard the phrase “smoke & mirrors”?

• Read Genesis 2:18. Why do you think it’s not good for humans to be alone?

• Get face-to-face or shoulder-to-shoulder with others. Think of ideas of what this could look like in your own life. What does it mean for you to be face-to-face and shoulder-to-shoulder with others?

Spiritual Practice

Reflection: Think intentionally about the image you portray when it comes to friendships. Do you try to post often about spending time with people? Do you have genuinely close friends that you can share personal struggles with?

Response: Pray about your friendships. If you have a friend you can open up to, pray about that conversation. If you don’t have a close friend, pray and ask God for one. Be open to finding a new friend that you can share with.
