The Old Is Gone, Let It Go. “How Do I Do This?,” you ask.
The series of scriptures I will share with you will reveal nuggets to help you “Draw nearer to God” which in turn cuts loose any weights or baggage you have from the past. At the end of this week we will outline practical steps to follow. For now read, memorize, meditate and familiarize yourself with the verses you receive:
1 Peter 5:5-11
5 In the same way, you who are younger, submit yourselves to your elders. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, “God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.”
6 Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.
7 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
8 Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. 9 Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings.
10 And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.
11 To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen.
