During our 12:30 Small Group this week, we talked about how God’s plan and way of doing things doesn’t make sense sometimes. God sees things that we don’t. It’s during those times we have to trust Him. And I can promise you, based on my own experience, that He is trustworthy and He is faithful. You can trust Him. It’s worth it! Love you guys. Take a look at today’s Daily.

Happy Thursday! Today, a simple but powerful thought for you:
“If we do not fill our mind with prayer, it will fill itself with anxieties, worries, temptations, resentments and unwelcome memories.” – Scott Hahn
Consider: Do I need to change what I’m filling my mind with? If so, decide and do it! If you’re not sure how, message us.
Love you guys!

Take a moment and read God’s Word this morning:
Joshua 1:5-6
No one will be able to stand against you as long as you live. For I will be with you as I was with Moses. I will not fail you or abandon you. “Be strong and courageous, for you are the one who will lead these people to possess all the land I swore to their ancestors I would give them.
In this situation, Moses, their leader, had died and people were unsure about their future. All they had were questions.
Think: If you and I really believe God when He says, “I will not fail you or abandon you,” how would we live differently because of that promise?
Love you guys.

Let’s start the day off right by praying this together. Pause now and remember that God is close to you:
Dear God,
Thank you for the fresh start of a new school year.
As we walk the hallways today, please quiet our worries and fill us with confidence.
Guide our minds to stay focused on our current work and future goals.
Protect our hearts from the pressure to fit in or to compromise our values.
Strengthen our character so that we stick up for each other and stand strong for You.
Protect our emotions so that we aren’t easily manipulated or misguided.
We pray for continued physical healing for any of us who are hurt, injured or in pain.
Bless our friendships – help us to be strong encouragers and to have genuine respect for those we meet today.
Give us the courage to handle every challenge and school pressure with grace.
We love you Lord and thank you for each other. Amen.
GRATEFUL
Luke 8:35-39
35 People rushed out to see what had happened. A crowd soon gathered around Jesus, and they saw the man who had been freed from the demons. He was sitting at Jesus’ feet, fully clothed and perfectly sane, and they were all afraid.
36 Then those who had seen what happened told the others how the demon-possessed man had been healed.
37 And all the people in the region of the Gerasenes begged Jesus to go away and leave them alone, for a great wave of fear swept over them. So Jesus returned to the boat and left, crossing back to the other side of the lake.
38 The man who had been freed from the demons begged to go with him. But Jesus sent him home, saying,
39 “No, go back to your family, and tell them everything God has done for you.” So he went all through the town proclaiming the great things Jesus had done for him.
