For further reflection and growth...
“Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplica- tion with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” --Philippians 4:6-7, NRSV
Scriptures to read this week:
Mark 2:1-5 (for insight into how God means for us to bear one another up, read 1 Corinthians 12:20-27)
Matthew 6:25-34 (to see how Jesus encouraged his friends to apply these principles in everyday life, read Luke 10:38-42)
Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 (for more on the importance of supportive relationships, read Romans 12:8-9) Psalm 91:1-4 (what does a person who trusts God sound like?
Read 2 Corinthians 4:8-9, 16-18) Proverbs 3:5-8 (for insight into one of the main ways we can incorporate God’s wisdom into our life, read Psalm 19:7-11)
Ask yourself:
Is my faith resting on a foundation solid enough to handle whatever “storms” may come my way? What steps can I take right now to strengthen my relationship with God and with others?
