Prayer: Jesus I need you in my life. Thank you that you delight in me even when I am not delighting in me.  Restore what is broken. Heal what needs healing and free me from the vices that block me from receiving the profound love you have for me. Help me to see myself as you see me…

Learning Objective: Quit overthinking. Understand the fragility that comes when we try to figure things out without God and a way forward.

#1: Quit anything that doesn’t feed the Spirit: quit pouring yourself into things that add zero value to your life.

#2: Quit Hanging out with the wrong people.

#3: Quit Judging and Criticizing Self and Others

#4: Quit Magnifying What is Going Wrong

#5: Quit Overdoing It

#6: People Pleasing

#7: Overthinking

Scriptures: Proverbs 3:5-6 | Luke 4 | Isaiah 26: 3-4 | Zechariah 4:6 | Mark 9:23-25 |

Prayer: Dear Lord, too often I lay awake trying to figure out why things happen as they do and how things will turn out by my own reasoning and I find myself anxious and often frustrated. Help me these next 40 days to release my impulse to do life without you. Overthinking and reasoning without your insight, wisdom and guidance is exhausting. Jesus, I trust in you, you take care of everything. LORD I BELIEVE, help my unbelief.
