What’s one practical step you can take to renew your focus and step into the peace God has given you?
This week, we were reminded that even though we are saved by Jesus, we can still feel conflicted. The enemy is like a weasel that tries to catch us in a pattern of doubt.

Name some areas that you’re grateful God is helping you work through.
What can you do to break negative patterns and experience the peace of God?

What’s God teaching you right now that’s helping you step into who He’s called you to be? How can we pray for you as you walk through this season of growth?
