ROMANS 8:38-39 Nothing Can Separate Us from God’s Love

Have you ever started something big and then lost your nerve in the middle? It’s often easier to talk yourself into tackling something hard than to complete it. But you don’t have to do it on your own! Jesus is always with you and you can live with confidence that He’s got this. Pray for each other, that you will keep your eyes fixed on Jesus and ask for His help all along the way.

ASK THIS: How would you live if you believed what God says is true? SAY THIS: Live like you believe what God says is true.

REMEMBER THIS “Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” Philippians 1:6, NIV
