Speak this over your week:

Jesus—we are so grateful that we get to REST tonight, fully aware that You hold every moment of the week ahead 🤍

🙏🏻 We will not rely on yesterday’s energy to meet today’s needs. God is able to strengthen us for things we could never accomplish in our own ability. Instead of being intimidated by what feels bigger than us, we will see it as an invitation to experience more of Him!

🙏🏻 We will stop trying to live seven days at once and refuse to borrow tomorrow’s worries. God’s grace is sufficient for what is in front of us TODAY, and we can trust Him to provide what we need when tomorrow comes. We will be faithful with what’s ours to do and leave room for God to be God.

🙏🏻 We will remember that every person we encounter is deeply known, intentionally created, and dearly loved by God. We will yearn for eyes to see like He does. When we are more interested in understanding people than managing their responses or fixing/judging their circumstances, we are able to meet them where they are. Their value and ours has already been established by the Creator.

🙏🏻 We will remember that our imaginations are limited by what we’ve seen and experienced, but God’s goodness outlasts + supersedes all. We will stay expectant, pay attention, and remember that God is always doing more than we can see. The box of our greatest expectations is His baseline.

🙏🏻 We will invite God into our lives before trying to figure everything out on our own. Every decision, interruption, conversation, and unexpected moment is an opportunity to walk with the Holy Spirit instead of running ahead of Him. God has good plans for us, and we don’t want to become so busy managing our lives that we miss the joy of living them WITH HIM!

Here’s to a week of fresh mercies, renewed strength, open hands, and hearts fully alive to the goodness of God! 🤍
