    Reflection Questions: 

    1. When was a time in your life that you struggled between hope and acceptance? Did you depend on God for wisdom? If so, how? If not, how could you have?

    2. What is one change you can make in your life to let go of control/planning and allow God to bless you in the present?
    

    3. Think of a time you were experiencing hardship. What was your natural reaction - blame, denial, or avoidance? In the future, how can you combat that reaction with the ideas that Professor Steve shared?

    Reflection Questions: 

    1. How can acceptance of a sinful world, a sinful self, and other sinful humans benefit your life? Are you truly willing to accept that?

    2. Do you find it difficult to surrender? Has there been a time when you surrendered and then things still didn't work out? Were you able to hold on to hope? Did something Professor Steve say encourage you to hold onto hope in the future? 

    3. First, share one source of happiness in your life as a form of encouragement to others. Secondly, share how this course has impacted your outlook on your life and your faith.
