  1. Title: Don't Worry, Seek Kingdom First
    Mentor: Jesus

    S: Matthew 6:27 "You cannot add any time to your life by worrying about it. 33 Seek first God’s kingdom and what God wants. Then all your other needs will be met as well."

    O: Jesus was teaching on many things in this chapter, one of which was the topic of worry/anxiety. He seemed to be saying that we can only have one thing on our mind. If we worry about our life, we are no different than unbelievers (v32). We must go hard after God's kingdom and what He wants and then our needs will be met.

    A: What are those things I worry about? What are the patterns of my mind? How can I reprogram those worries into prayers? What are areas of God's kingdom that I should be pursuing that I am not currently?

    P: King Jesus, today when I worry or have anxiety, help me to cast it onto you. Help me to see your provision for the lilies and the birds. May my primary concern be what you want and the expansion of your kingdom.

  2. Title: Forgiveness
    Mentor: Jesus

    S: Matthew 6:12 " And forgive our sins as we have forgiven those who sin against us."

    O: We need to forgive others that have sinned against us and ask God to forgive us when we sin against him.

    A: I should forgive Graham and Ellie when they do something that is bad toward me.

    P: Dear God, Help me to forgive Graham and Ellie when they sin against me. Forgive me of my sins today. In Jesus name, Amen
