2) READ Mark 9:17-24 – The boy’s father believed in Jesus yet also confessed his unbelief. As a father what areas in his own life could have made it difficult for him to trust that Jesus could heal his son?
3) READ Matthew 6:25-34 – How does worry affect our faith or trust in Jesus? If we don’t worry about these things aren’t we being irresponsible? Why or why not?
4) READ Matthew 6:33 – As you read this passage, what makes this passage so challenging in order to experience the promise of God?

8) Write down on a piece of paper known areas of your life which you have trusted in to give you strength which the Lord is calling you to lay down at the cross today. Allow the Holy Spirit to give you His strength as you die to areas of the flesh which you have been relying on.
