4. Talk about a time when you became impatient with God. How did you respond to that impatience? How did God respond?
    

5. Read Matthew 26:6–16. Do you relate to the disciples’ reaction to the woman’s behavior toward Jesus? Why or why not?
    

6. For what or whom are you tempted to trade your relationship with Christ? What is one thing you can do this week to surrender that part of your life to God? How can this group hold you accountable?
