Right at the beginning of your meeting ask your group members to make a list of everything that is on their minds. Tell them they don't have to write sentences about it just simply a word, i.e. work, children, grocery shopping … After giving them 2 minutes to comprise that list ask them if they would now go back to their list and write a word beside each word of the original list that describes how they are feeling about that particular thing.

For example:
Things on my mind - How I feel
Work - frustrated
Children - worry
Grocery shopping - dislike

Now, ask your group to take one of those items and share it with everyone. After everyone has had an opportunity to share their answers take a moment to pray for the group. Pray that they would be able to place those things in God's hands and to trust Him completely with their concerns.

I used this one for a womens leadership meeting. They all loved it and it really helped us all open up to what is really going on in each others lives and how best we can pray for each other. It helped us focus on the task at hand and really be able to put aside the concerns we all had at that time.
