OPEN ROAD FREEDOM
2 SAMUEL 22:37 (NLT)
You have made a wide path for my feet
to keep them from slipping.
2 CORINTHIANS 3:17 (CEV)
The Lord and the Spirit are one and the same, and the Lord’s Spirit sets us free.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Trust God's Spirit to move you forward.
PRAYER
Spirit of the living God, thank you for the freedom that you have created for us. I confess, though, that I don't take full advantage of that freedom. I allow myself to become trapped by anxiety over my health and the future. Show me again the wide highway in front of me. And help me to trust you to propel me along the open road. I'm going to let go of my fears and trust you. Amen.
