October 1 - 7, 2023
Our focus chapter this month is found in 2 Corinthians 4. Personally, I have been struggling to be my best self lately. This chapter came to me as a reminder that God is at work even when I'm feeling pushed in on, hard-pressed, and frustrated with myself. I hope you can read along and follow the prayer prompts to be encouraged in your own walk with Christ. He is faithful to show us mercy and grace when we are not at our best!
This Week’s Bible Reading: 2 Corinthians 4:13-15
Focus Reading
“But having the same spirit of faith, according to what is written: “I believed, therefore I spoke,” we also believe, therefore we also speak, knowing that He who raised the Lord Jesus will also raise us with Jesus, and will present us with you. For all things are for your sakes, so that grace, having spread to more and more people, will cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God.” 2 Corinthians 4:13-15).
Prayer Prompts
Day 1: Read Psalm 116:10 to learn about the reference of verse 13. What did you find? How are you holding on to hope?
Day 2: Think about the resurrection for a moment. Close your eyes. What will it be like? How will that phase of your journey with Christ be different than it is now? Write a prayer of hope today!
Day 3: What is your faith temperature? In what ways are you growing in faith? How have you limited your faith in God? Say a prayer of faith today!
Day 4: When was the last time you gave yourself grace? Do you practice giving grace to others? Today, see if you have a unique opportunity to extend grace to another person. Look for it and experiment. What happened?
Day 5: Let your thanksgiving overflow today. Take a walk and thank God for His creation, the creatures you see, and the cloud formations. Let it overflow!
