1. Our journey with Jesus often starts with what we want but leads us to who we truly need. Where are you feeling the most restlessness or discontentment in this season, and how are you trying to satisfy it yourself?
   
   
2. Read Philippians 4:12-13 and Psalms 37:4. Contentment is being joyfully grateful for life just as it is. This means when you have who you need, it’s okay if you don’t have what you want. What might change if you chose to seek God first and waited on Him to satisfy you?
   
   
3. We see God’s grace in the discontentment of the thirsty Samaritan woman (John 7:37-38), the hungry Israelites (Deuteronomy 8:3), and Solomon – the man who had everything (Ecclesiastes 2:10-11, 6:7). Where do you see His grace in your own story right now?
   

We’re setting aside August 10-17 to fast and pray together as the church as we prepare our hearts for what God wants to do this fall. Fasting is simply abstaining from food so we can seek and feast on God. You can find resources on fasting here.

Lord, stir within us a desire that draws us to You.

As a reminder, we’re asking everyone to do three things to contribute:

• Commit to Valley Creek as your church
• Every person give above and beyond what you already give (sacrificially) over the next two years
• Take one next step every year for the next five years
