• Of the four images in Jonah 3:6—the throne, robe, sackcloth, and dust—which one helps you understand surrender most clearly, and why?

OPTIONAL QUESTIONS TO HELP GUIDE

• Do you have a THRONE that is hard for you to step down from?

  Is there a ROBE that you hang on to for security?

OPTIONAL QUESTIONS

• Why do you think true surrender is often uncomfortable or humbling before it brings peace?

• Which response speaks most to you right now: Believe God, step down, or turn around? What is one practical way you could respond this week?

OPTIONAL QUESTIONS TO HELP GUIDE

• If "Believe God": Is there a promise or truth from God’s Word you are struggling to trust right now?

• If "Step Down": Where in your life do you need to stop playing God and let Him take control?

• If "Turn Around": Is there a specific habit, attitude, or direction you need to make a complete U-turn from?

OPTIONAL QUESTIONS

• What is one small, tangible step you can take in the next 24 to 48 hours to put this response into practice? How can this group support or pray for you in that?
