Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.

Reflect: Are you struggling with your faith? Do you recall times where you were active in the building of God’s Kingdom but now feel run down and no longer useful? Are there small compromises you are aware of that are creeping into your thoughts and actions that are or will separate you from God’s plan for you?

Scripture: 1 Peter 5:1-11

Consider: God cares for you. He is in the business of restoration and His desire is to see you actively building the kingdom of God.

Pray: Thank Jesus for healing, forgiveness, restoration, renewal. Confess to Him what’s on your heart and what you’ve been going through. Let Him know your fears and doubts, your anxieties.

Activity: We aren’t meant to journey alone in our faith. Text, call, message someone who will pray with you, who will listen and cheerlead you on. Be also an encourager to that person as you reciprocate.
