sin that entangles
Run with perseverance
Perseverance doesn’t just happen - there’s work involved - determination - grit - Christian faith has active participation in it

Closing Prayer - take these notes and this prayer home with you and pray it throughout the week. Blessings and Peace in Christ Jesus.
Mighty God,
If I’m entangled in any nature or notion or act of sin - make me aware of it - forgive me for it - deliver me from it.
Teach me Holy Spirit how to be a faithful disciple - trustworthy - honest - sincere - grace giving
Give me clear vision of my Lord and Savior and help me to remember and cherish His words
Strengthen me for the race of life that I am in
Thank you ………., In Jesus name.
