COT:
There’s a Jelly Roll song called “Need a Favor”. Here’s the chorus:
“I only talk to God when I need a favor, and I only pray 🙏 when I ain’t got a prayer. So who the hell I am to expect a Savior, oh if I only talk to God when I need a favor? But God, I need a favor. Amen 🙏.” – Jelly Roll
Any of you ever feel this way? I know I have. Waiting until I’m facing adverse times before reaching out to God and asking for help.
I’ve definitely been guilty of thinking I’ve got it all figured out and under control, until I get humbled. If you live long enough, life has a funny way of doing just that.
One thing I know is God is always there for us (for me). Even when we don’t think we need any help. I try to remember to thank God for His blessings in the good and bad times.
I encourage us all to pray and talk to God early and often. Even in the good times!
“Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.” Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭33‬ ‭NLT‬‬

COT: Continued discussion on mental health and sharing burdens. Had HIMs break into twos and share heart with one another and pray for one another. Follow Jesus’ example in Garden of Gethsemane.

COT:

Yesterday was the start of advent.
Advent is a time to prepare for Christmas but also a time to reflect on the coming of Christ to earth. We’re actually between 2 advents, the first coming and the second coming.
Start the advent season by preparing not only for his first coming but his second coming.

Rom 13:14 But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provisions for the flesh, to gratify it’s desires.

Eph 6:11 Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

COT:
Contentment
We’ve recently been studying Philippians.
Philippines 4: 10 – 14
“For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭13‬ ‭NLT‬‬
bible.com/bible/116/php.4.13.NLT
Often misquoted this is not talking about being able to accomplish the impossible or even difficult. It’s talking about being content with the circumstances God has put you in.
Very challenging to do. Something we can all work on.
