Reflection Question:

1. Have you ever had to relinquish control and trust God in a difficult situation? What did that look like for you? How can Carol's story encourage you to release your expectations to the Lord and pray "thy will be done" even when it's hard?

2. Carol mentions "praying for mercy" when she cannot control the outcome. When have you prayed for mercy in your own life? What did that prayer look like?  

3. Carol says, "I realized that my son has purpose, he has meaning." Think of a difficult situation you are facing right now. How might God use that situation for purpose and meaning, even if it's hard to see now?

4. Carol describes having to "relinquish" her dreams and plans for her family. Is there something you need to relinquish to God right now? How can you lay down your expectations and align your will with His?
