May 11-17, 2025
Considering that we recently celebrated Easter, let us reflect on the impact of Jesus’ sacrifice through the freedom His right standing followers receive through His death, burial, and resurrection. Having been released from the things that once held us captive like shame, fear, legalism and condemnation, spiritual freedom can be enjoyed each day.
This week's Bible reading: 2 Timothy 1
Focus Verses: “for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.” (2 Timothy 1:7).
Focus Theme: Freedom from Fear
Day 1: Trust in God's Presence
"Lord, help me trust that You are with me in every moment."
Pray for the assurance of God's constant presence, especially in situations that typically trigger fear.
Day 2: Embrace God's Peace
"Father, replace my anxiety with Your perfect peace."
Invite God to calm your heart and mind when fear begins to take hold.
Day 3: Experience God's Love
"God, help me remember that Your love casts out all fear."
Reflect on 1 John 4:18 and ask to experience the power of His love in your daily life.
Day 4: Seek Courage in Faith
"Jesus, give me courage to face the unknown with faith."
Ask for boldness and trust, even when you can't see the full path ahead.
Day 5: Surrender Your Fears
"Lord, show me the root of my fear and how to surrender it to You."
Pray for wisdom to understand what fuels your fears and the strength to let go.
