Romans 8:28-39
God's Goals
1. List what God has already done for us in Christ. What are God's goals for us now and in the future?
>In all things God works for the good of those who love him
>He called his people to be like him
>God is for us
>He gave up his only Son for us
>He was raised to life for us
>Promised that nothing can separate us from his love
2. Can anything prevent God's will to take effect?
No.
3. Memorize vs. 28-29
"And we KNOW that in ALL things God works for the GOOD of those who love him, who have been CALLED according to his purpose. For those who foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers".
Something that I need to remember is that God is for me and not against me. Sometimes I feel like this is not true, but that it what Satan would want me to think exactly. That the God I proclaim to believe in is not there for me. In reality God is probably sooo close that I could just reach out and touch him. I feel like he is far away right now because I am becoming discouraged by life and circumstances. Lord help me to keep my eyes fixed on you and not on the things of this world. If I look at the world...it is not in great shape. Earthquakes in Japan, tornados in Santa Rosa, babies being killed through abortion. It is a sad world out there. I need to be looking to you as my hope and peace and running towards you DESPITE what my flesh and mind wants to think.
I hope to pass this anatomy class. The first half is over and I have a 65% in the class. Help to me put it behind me with your strength and keep on pressing on. Help me to renew my mind in this class filling my brain with positive thoughts and a can do attitude. My teacher has told me not to drop....so that says something because she is def. one of those teachers who would let me know if she thought I needed to drop.
I need a job or some source of income Lord. I think the babysitting with Rebecca may be off since Anna got mad and cried. Those kids are so spoiled. Molly is cool, but Anna may turn out to be interesting. Show me some more temp jobs Lord. Do I go around putting up babysitter flyers around? Show and guide me Lord because at this point I can't see the next step. What I see is my money running out and not even paying rent and barely being able to pay for bills. I eat out here and there because cooking all the time gets tiring. Show me Lord and help me to trust that you will provide.
I confess my sin to you. I have been cussing and I KNOW its bad and the sexual sin. I want to be free from these so bad. Today is a new day. Give me the strength to make it through this Saturday without cussing or looking at the computer or thinking thoughts that will lead me act them out using the computer.
In your name
Amen
