At some point in our lives, we all face daunting
and even fearful situations. How have you reacted?

Adversity comes in a variety of different forms, but one thing is certain—it will come to every one of us sooner or later. How will you handle it?

"GOD AND MONEY" Is it difficult for you to trust God with your finances? What attributes of God reassure you that He can be trusted to supply your needs if you will obey Him in the matter of giving to His kingdom work?

You will never earn, merit, or be good enough to enter heaven. Your salvation is totally dependent upon receiving God’s grace, a free gift, that you access only through putting your faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord.

What are you facing today that’s making you anxious or even fearful? How would filtering the situation through God’s Word change your response? What would happen if you shifted your focus to the one who holds the future and has promised to give you His presence, power, provision, and protection?

Can you name a particular promise that God has given you? When is the last time you claimed a promise from God’s Word? What blessings came as a result? Have you found peace in a situation where God fulfilled a promise for you or your family?

How many times have you confessed the same sin to the Lord, and each time you feel sorry and tell Him you won’t do it again? Yet deep inside, you doubt that you’ll follow through. We’ve all been there, haven’t we? Perhaps the problem is that despite our confessions, we haven’t entered into genuine repentance.

In the past, what has caused you to yield to temptation? What consequences followed? Looking ahead, how can you courageously resist temptation in the future?
