Noteworthy quotes: “When we’re coming to him more regularly because we need him, all of a sudden we start to bear the fruit of the Spirit again” - 7:00 “If you trust that the enemy wants to steal your life and your dreams and your future and your hope, know that [God has] come to give you life and that you would have it to the full.” - 11:35 “If I trust in Him and I keep my mind and my days on Him, the anxiety doesn’t really have as much of a root because I’m going back to ‘the Creator of the heavens and the earth holds my future and He holds all these things together.’” ~ 12:42 Questions for consideration: In what areas of life do you find it hardest to trust the Lord?
