Coed Small Group Session 5

Hope: Look at this walled garden. If this were your hope, what would it look like? Add the things that would make this your place of hope. Who might be there, how would you feel there? Take some time to draw, write, color and add whatever is missing.

Now that you've visualized your hope, what would God add, or what might God hope for, on your behalf that is missing, add those things, people, feelings, objects.

Lets think about the wall. Does your wall have decoration on it? What is it's purpose in relation to your garden of hope?

What stops us from sharing our hope, both for ourselves and for those around us? Is it fear of rejection, or that our hopes might cause others pain? How might hope be meant to share?

Think of hope, and how you might find courage to share it with others, and help them build a hope for themselves.
