Participants can be encouraged to apply the Scriptures to their lives. Application will be most helpful when it moves from other people and situations out there somewhere to what is happening here with us. As you talk together about the Scriptures and your lives learn to wait out the silences. Silences tend to feel hostile, and there is a propensity to want to fill those gaps. If you will them regularly you are probably talking too much.
Participants can pray for each other.
After a session in which the Scriptures are discussed and lives examined, it is appropriate to lay your burdens at His feet, to share your joys in an expression of thanks to Him and to follow His lead in expressing your concern for those who you know have needs but are not part of your little circle.
