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

  1. What does this passage show me about God?

    • What do the five sisters ask for, what does Moses do with their request, and how does God answer?
  2. What does it show me about people — and about myself?

    • What has a woman asked for in your community that was never taken to God, only refused?
  3. What will I obey this week? (a concrete step, with a day)

    • What request will you actually carry to those who decide this week?
  4. Who will I tell?

    • Who has stopped asking because nobody listened, whom you could stand with?

Grow

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

Pray

God, five sisters came and stood in front of the whole assembly and said the law was not right, and you said they were correct. Give women that nerve, and give the rest of us the ears.
