2 Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in ALL things and be in health, just as your soul prospers. 3 For I rejoiced greatly when brethren came and testified of the truth that is in you, just as you walk in the truth. 4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.
3 John 2-4
Q & A:
- How has the recent lockdown taken a toll on you emotionally, physically or mentally, especially the relationship with your closed ones? How should your behavior towards others be like when you walk in the truth to manage your emotions? (3 John 2-4; John 15:7-8)
- Explain what it means for our soul to prosper and why the components of our soul (emotions, mind, will) need to be renewed. How can we work on our mental health to be away from stress, anxiety, depression or post-traumatic stress disorder during the lockdown? (Gal 5:16-17; Phi 4:6-8)
- What are the different forms of abuse and triggers to domestic violence as a result of prolonged lockdown? Discuss how we can make good use of the lockdown period by not wasting the crisis, but to readjust our priorities in life, learn to communicate and spend time with our spouse, children or loved ones, through walking in love and in the Spirit. (Eph 5:28-29)
