Here’s What I Want us To Do This Week
*Where in life are you feeling stuck or like you can't win or change? Write it Down on the Notecard on your Chair (or by the Communion Tables), & Come Surrender it Today to Jesus (the REAL Superman - Fully God & Fully Man). Ask Him for Help & Power to Overcome it. Then Physically put it In His Hands & Out of Yours, by Bringing it Up Here to the Foot of the Cross & Running it through this Paper Shredder during this Next Closing Song.
Then Every Time that thing comes back to your Mind in the Future, just Thank Jesus that He has it & He’s Working it out. Then Trust Him & Realize, sometimes he Changes the Situation (AKA - Calms the Storm), & other times he Changes You (AKA - Calms His Child)! And Remember that Jesus won't Force people against their Freewill, but he Will Influence them, and If you Love the LORD, He Promises to work ALL Things Together for Your Good in the End & for His Purpose - so Trust Him!
