Reflection Prompts
- Where are you tempted to measure your faith by what you can do for God instead of trusting what He has promised to do for you?
Reflect on how His promises anchor your life and identity. - How have you seen God give you “victory” in ways you couldn’t have achieved on your own?
Remembering past faithfulness builds trust for present battles. - What promise of God do you need to cling to today?
Write it down, pray it, and let it strengthen your faith walk this week.
Closing Encouragement
God’s promises never fail. Trust His covenant love, rest in His strength, and walk confidently knowing His plans for you are secure.
Until then, stay in the Word and trust in His promises. See you next time!
