FerVent / week 3

Please read strategies 5 and 6 for week 4 and reflect on these questions. Keeping in mind that it is what you put into practice that matters, NOT if you've answered all the questions.

1) How does your guilt or shame affect you? What past sins seem to haunt you? 2) Do you ever feel guilty that you ‘hold on’ to past sins? As a group discuss strategies and truth from God’s Word for moving forward once and for all. 3) What fears continue to rise up in you? 4) Is there something you’ve been avoiding? 5)Is there an area you’ve been putting off or ignoring? What is God showing you about this?

Assignment: Prayer When it comes to your past, take the time to write down the thoughts that hinder you with shame, guilt, and regret.

Are you trying to pay God back for what you did wrong - when Jesus already made it right?

Take everything to God.

Repent, if you haven’t already done so. Then, allow His truth to wash over your soul. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. John 1:9 And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good,for those who are called according to his purpose. Romans 1:8 Write out Romans 8:31-39 in your prayer journal or post it on your bathroom mirror.
