    From the deductive lesson, page 7:

    Take a moment to meditate on Romans 8:28–39, which clearly states the certainty of a believer’s relationship with God now as well as their future hope. What in these verses conveys the assurance of comfort and confidence toward God that you need most today?

    I want to scream. Today was hectic; came home from work, showered, settled in and just looked up at the clock and realized it’s Thursday. I looked to see which chapter I’m missing and I could’ve cried when I saw it’s the 23rd. I really needed it tonight. So I guess I’ll watch it tomorrow or this week-end, but I really look forward to the praise and worship.
    I know I’m going thru a spiritual battle in a particular area and if I could, I would like to request prayer. Today at work I found a Psalm I’d copied down over a year ago, maybe longer and it said that I will wait on the Lord and not worry about that which is bigger than I am able to resolve (paraphrase, I can’t remember the chapter).
    Thank-you,
    S

    Thank you! I have been struggling with my faith lately. I’m the wife of a hard working man, mother of a senior and 8th grader. I also work and we have 4 cats!!! Thank you for reminding me of this scripture. It’s early I just dropped my senior off at school and I have a few quiet moments to meditate on these scriptures. Romans 8:28-39. As the birds began to sing outside I realized just how lucky I am! Praise God! “Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere.”

      Hi Blanca,
      I was hoping to see the video of the session I missed last week and saw your post. Thank-you for sharing the Romans scripture. I read it and of course the Holy Spirit moved. This is precisely what I need in this moment.
      More Than Conquerors
      31 What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? 33 Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. 34 Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?

      Such beautiful words, such beautiful Truth, from a most beautiful God.
      God bless you and I pray for your strength of faith in Christ.
      Sonja
