Willow realizes that peace comes from God. The world, on the other hand, finds peace in possessions and in circumstances that go the way we want. How could Willow have dealt with her situation, other than seeking God? How did seeking God’s peace change Willow’s attitude toward her situation?
Clint sometimes confuses his need to “fix” people with love. What motivates that need to “fix” others? Are you guilty of trying to “fix” people? How?
Willow takes a chance and trusts Clint with her biggest secret, that she can’t have children. How hard is it to open up in a relationship and let people know those things about ourselves that we could keep hidden?
When Clint learns that his sister has gone missing, he feels helpless, dependent on the strength of others, and dependent on God. Willow assures him that she can be strong for both of them. When have you been strong for others? How did the situation turn out?
When the church prays for Clint’s sister, Jenna, to come home, the pastor teaches that prayer should be our first response, not an afterthought. “Just pray” takes on a new meaning when we realize that one definition of the word just is “immediately.” If we realize the power of prayer, does it change our lives?
Willow prays for God to show her if Clint was the man who would love her forever. Did God show her Clint was the man for her? How? Have you ever asked for a sign from God? Was it answered? How?
