Nothing Can Separate Us from God’s Love

2 Peter 1:3 (NLT)
Growing in Faith
3 By his divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a godly life. We have received all of this by coming to know him, the one who called us to himself by means of his marvelous glory and excellence.
REPENTANCE:
Forgive us for selfishly clinging to our meager possessions rather than imitating you, Jesus, and trusting you will give us everything we need as we seek you & forgive us for our sin, oh God: stinginess, ungratefulness, and selfishness.
Matthew 6:33 (NLT)
33 Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.
PRAY FOR:
A harvest in Europe/Eurasia

9 All the nations you made
will come and bow before you, Lord;
they will praise your holy name.
PRAY: for God’s believers to move away from the world’s system, pray for the body of Christ to reach out in generosity to those in need & for the bible to be accessible & readable in all languages.
FROM PRAYER TO MISSION:
Turn from Greed to Generosity:
Create a homemade gift or make food and give it to a neighbor or someone you wouldn’t normally give to or give a monetary gift anonymously.
2 Corinthians 9:10 (NLT)
10 For God is the one who provides seed for the farmer and then bread to eat. In the same way, he will provide and increase your resources and then produce a great harvest of generosity in you.
