Intro: What are the most pressing threats looming over you right now?

LOOMING THREATS
How have you experienced threats that were overwhelming?

A GREATER HELP
How have you looked for relief from distress? Everyone does.

AND AN EVEN BRIGHTER FUTURE
So what is it like to live under God’s good oversight?

YOU CAN PRAY WITH US …

1. Worship the LORD, our Helper who made heaven and earth. Praise Him, Father, Son and Holy Spirit for His power (almighty!) and vigilance (He never sleeps nor slumbers).

2. How have you lived in trusting things or circumstances more than you trust the Lord? Confess your pride to Jesus, asking Him to forgive you and to renew you to trust Him more than anyone or anything.

3. Give thanks to Jesus for His willingness to suffer and be separated from His Father in order to atone for our sins. Thank Him for all He endured to pay your debt and for all He gives you by His Grace.

4. Who do you know that lives in distress? Pray for them, asking the Lord to help them, to secure them by His answer to their cries for help and to keep them by His immeasurable power.

5. Ask the Holy Spirit to secure you in His love and faithfulness. Pray for the Spirit to bear in you His fruit of peace, especially as you compare what the things of this world offer vs. all that the LORD freely gives you in Christ.
