NEXT STEPS
Ryan talked about changing our prayers from, “Deliver me from this,” or “Help me escape from this” to “Meet me in this,” and “Make me better in this.” So, take a few moments to ask for God’s strength. Invite Him to meet you in your challenges this week. Ask Him to give you strength, transform you in and through it, and that His grace would be sufficient for you today.
