Opening Prayer: Lord Jesus, thank you that it is for freedom that you set us free. Help us to live like it. Amen.
Scripture: Galatians 5:1
Journal: Who or what is robbing you of your joy and freedom these days? Why?
Reflection: Don’t give fear, anxiety, and insecurity the power to steal your joy, your laughter, and your freedom today. “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.”
Fear, anxiety, and insecurity are some of the main predators of the
spiritual life. They will eat up all of
your joy and your life and your freedom if you let them. Don’t let them; that’s the key. It’s why Paul tells the Galatians to “Stand
firm.” You are not powerless in this
struggle. You have the Spirit of God
living within you.
Prayer
Closing Prayer: Lord Jesus, give me the strength and the grace and the courage to stand firm whenever something, or someone, tries to rob me of my joy and laughter and freedom. You desire me to live freely, and you give me the power to do so. Help me to live in that truth. Amen.
