“6 xHumble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, 7 ycasting all your anxieties on him, because zhe cares for you.” ~ I Peter 5:5-6; “6 rdo not be anxious about anything, sbut in everything by prayer and supplication twith thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7 And uthe peace of God, vwhich surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” – Philippians 4:6-7
MOLESKIN:
Men, most of us struggle or know someone who struggles with worry, doubts, or anxiety. Yet the Scripture often tells us to take those anxieties to God, and He can comfort with an otherworldly peace that surpasses human understanding. Just like those of us who were on the wheel of suffering in the work out were looking for our partners to come release us from difficulty, we need to remember to look to God in the midst of difficult circumstances. I know that surrendering things to God is hard. Laying down idols is difficult. However, we are called to seek God’s face and trust in Him. Yes, we have to put in some effort in seeking the Lord, but He is the only one that can give us the satisfaction of our souls.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

“Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love. In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us.”

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
5 PAX plus a couple drifters
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Keep rolling. In life, we don’t always luck out and often roll poorly or get stuck. But that doesn’t mean we give up. It is important that there are a few things in your life that you keep rolling on because you know you need to in order to keep moving. We did that with our fitness this morning. Will we keep doing it in our fellowship and our faith? What habits do you maintain even when the dice roll poorly for you? One of those things for me is reading the Bible. And had been rolling poorly until just the other day I came to psalm 42 and it really became a breakthrough moment for me.
MOLESKIN:
Read psalm 42 aloud as if a prayer from your own heart.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Please pray for the Stanton house. Sickness is bad and trying to make it through. Thanks! Sorry we had to cancel breakfast.
