Answer from what the passage actually says — stay in the text.

1. What does this passage show me about God?

   • What does the psalmist ask God to do for him so that he can obey?

2. What does it show me about people — and about myself?

   • Do you see obedience as a burden, or — like the psalmist — as something to long for?

3. What will I obey this week? (a concrete step, with a day)

   • What one worthless thing will you turn your eyes away from this week so you can walk in God's path?

4. Who will I tell?

   • Who could you pray this prayer with — 'teach me, give me understanding'?

3 Grow

Growth is God's part, not yours. Do the cycle faithfully and trust Him to give the growth (1 Corinthians 3:6–7).
