Afternoon Bible Verse

Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus.

Afternoon Bible study

We are encouraged in life to live like Jesus did. Living like Jesus means helping each other, spreading the word of God, loving our neighbor as ourselves, forgiving our enemies, and being good to others even when they are not good to us.

But we are human, so it is not possible for us to achieve that kind of perfection—which is why we need Jesus. Because He died for us, whenever we sin, we ask for forgiveness and God grants it.

Despite our humanness, we must never stop trying to live like Jesus, trusting in God and doing what is right. In our relationships with others, we must also act like Jesus would, which means being good to one another. The world is a much better place when we are being kind and looking to God rather than turning on each other.

Afternoon Prayer

Heavenly Father, how great it is to know that I am your child and part of Jesus Christ. What a glorious truth to know that I am a new creation in the Lord and have the Holy Spirit living in my heart and my soul. Help me to live in complete dependence on you and in unity with my brothers and sisters. Keep me from anger and strife and help me to consider the needs of others before my own. Lord, I pray that the mind that was in Christ Jesus may dwell in me so that I may act justly. This I ask in Jesus' name, Amen.

Yesterday Afternoon's Bible Verse

These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. :

Yesterday Afternoon's Bible study

In life, we will have pain. Although that isn't a comforting thought, it is reality. When trials and tribulations test our faith, we can turn to our Heavenly Father for everything we need.

God is always there to comfort us in our pain and encourage us. Difficult situations give us the choice of depending on God or relying on our strength. Even if we haven't yet made it to the other side of a tough time, God can give us peace in the middle of the storms of life.

God knows that on the other side of our pain is victory. Jesus already defeated life and death—His victory is offered to us as a gift.

So, how does God encourage us in troubling times? He sends people to lift us up. He fills us with His power to strengthen us. He gives us wisdom to see beyond what is currently happening and to see the future He has waiting for us.

God isn't affected by the depth of our situations. He is never overwhelmed or left without knowing what to do. He holds all the answers. God knows our past, He is with us now, and He sees the future He has in store for us.

Our mind can be one of our biggest hindrances in times of trouble. If we don't allow God to affect our hearts and minds, then we will continue to struggle. Anxiety can rob us of our peace. But we can take comfort in knowing that God's peace is bigger than any pain and worry.

Yesterday Afternoon's Prayer

Dear Lord, I come to you with a heart that has experienced the pain of life. Thank you for peace that surpasses my understanding. I can't even comprehend your great love for me. When I am struggling and hurting, please send your Holy Spirit to comfort me. You have promised never to leave me, and I believe you. When worry floods my mind, remind me of your faithfulness in my life. I know you can help me stand through every trial. I trust in you today. I can hold my head high knowing that I have victory through you. In Jesus' name, amen.
